10 Leicester players whose contracts expire in just over a year

Foxes of Leicester detail 10 Leicester City stars whose contracts expire in just over a year. Whilst evaluating which players the King Power should offer new deals to.

Without further ado, let’s get to the important information at hand. According to Leicester Mercury, the amount of Foxes with expiring contracts is in double figures: Kasper Schmeichel, Caglar Soyuncu, Jonny Evans, Jamie Vardy, Youri Tielemans, Daniel Amartey, Papy Mendy, Ayoze Perez, Hamza Choudhury and Ryan Bertrand.

So, as you can see, there are a mixture of veterans, peripheral personnel, bad signings and more on the list. One or two are actually a blend of those descriptions; for example, how could I not say reward Vardy with an extension? Even though he will be in his late 30s and none of us know if he’ll retire or something.

Jonny Evans and Kasper Schmeichel are similar celestial Leicester talents, and are therefore difficult to discard. Nevertheless, with Schmeichel hinting that he would be open to a transfer and desiring Champions League football, anything is possible. His distribution technique is now arguably passe, meaning less negative team impact.

Perez is an athlete who needs to be sold; I would say the same for Choudhury, if his versatility and commitment was not so great. Bertrand is another who can easily depart, but obtaining a decent fee will be next to impossible subsequent to his rapid decline.

The time may honestly be right to try to acquire the highest price possible for Soyuncu; in the same style of the Harry Maguire swindle. While Tielemans stated that he may stay for another campaign – that decision might well cost LCFC £40millon.

James Maddison speaks following another brilliant Leicester City free-kick

Superb goals from Maddison and Timothy Castagne won the Brentford contest for the King Power team. Yet Yoane Wissa’s finish made the victory the narrowest of margins. Following the final whistle, the England international said the Foxes had enjoyed a ‘good day’.

Although, the No.10 suggested the side could have been better in the second half after a decisive first. Maddison added that the East Midlanders had to ‘grind out’ victory; however, he asserts that securing the three points is all that matters.
