The two latest Leicester transfer links ahead of crucial summer
Foxes of Leicester analyse and rate the two most recent Leicester City transfer links ahead of a crucial summer market for the Foxes: Han-Noah Massengo and Tete.
While most of the talk of how Leicester will alter the roster this coming off-season seems to consist of who will depart Filbert Way – Youri Tielemans being the player of utmost concern for fans, which now turns to resignation that the Belgian will inevitably leave for new pastures and Champions League football – this article wonders who will be signed. This is done by detailing a couple of pieces of topical speculation.
First of all, the King Power team are connected with an interest in Mateus Cardoso Lemos Martins. But you may know him simply as Tete. Tete plays for Shakhtar Donetsk; he can perform in a number of advanced midfield positions, specialising in the right-wing role. Being a skilful Brazilian Left-footer will also interest the Blue Army.
Secondly, LCFC are apparently tracking Bristol City’s Han-Noah Massengo. FoL covered similar hearsay recently; yet stories continues which could possibly mean something legitimate.
Is Kelechi Iheanacho the best finisher at Leicester City?
That is the claim from former Foxes striker Emile Heskey; incidentally, the former England international wasn’t the best elite level goalscorer himself. Yet he is certainly better qualified than myself to make an assertion here.
Heskey is a particularly affable, genuine and likeable person, I should know, I have very briefly met and spoken to him. Therefore I trust, or give credence to, his assessments. Disregarding Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka and even James Maddison, the 44-year-old suggests the Nigerian is the preeminent scorer on Filbert Way.
The ex-Foxes forward made the statement following the Nigeria man’s clinical goal versus Rennes on Thursday evening. Additionally, Kasper Schmeichel also agrees on Iheanacho in the same capacity. Heskey suggests that it is great for Iheanacho to lighten the burden on Vardy’s shoulders.
