Leicester linked with transfers of four new potential summer targets

However, Diallo other stylistic attributes are abysmal: 10/100 in ball retention (he loses the ball or gives it away) and 0/100 in defensive quality. This player is not involved enough or good enough to justify any transfer.

Meanwhile, his teammate Habib Diarra is another story. 18-years-old, a progressive and possessive midfielder, and a breakout star in his first set of senior appearances for Strasbourg. To be blunt, he is no Tielemans replacement.

If the Foxes are looking for a first team player, this is not the one. However, stylistically he is perfect for Rodgers’ system. As once again shown by his SmarterScout ratings: 89/100 in retention, 82/100 in link-up play, and 80/100 in aerial challenging. Remember, these ratings are benchmarked against the Premier League talent pool.

Those are exceptional ratings. In essence, Diarra collects the ball from deep, marches it forward, and carries one or two passes with teammates to help take the ball forward while not losing it. A true box-to-box talent. The only element not present in his game is goalscoring acumen, but that can come with time.

A move for this player would not be amiss with myself. However, he would have to be sent on loan immediately to ensure his development does not halt due to a lack of game time. Afterall, we already have Boubakary Soumare for that role.
