Major updates regarding Leicester target Ademola Lookman’s future

Foxes of Leicester details and explains some fairly major updates regarding former Leicester City loanee Ademola Lookman’s future now that he is back at RB Leipzig.

To sign or not to sign – that should be the question posed over Lookman. But LCFC appear to be in a rather awkward and unwanted situation, partly of their own doing.  The tremendously well-informed modern fan is beginning to worry due to a lack of movement, and rightfully so.

You see, the Foxes have left themselves with no head of recruitment until September, when the transfer window is firmly shut. Lee Congerton left for Atalanta a few months ago, meanwhile Leicester’s upcoming transfer czar from Southampton, Martyn Glover, won’t arrive this summer.

Years ago, staff members such as these weren’t even employed, so presumably the East Midlands side are still capable of selling and buying players. Well, you would hope so. Excuse my sarcasm. However, only third choice goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic has departed Filbert Way and zero stars have been signed, disappointingly.

Leicester are in a slightly tangled web, but one that can quite easily be detangled by other people at the club. Along with the owner. The main combined issues are that there is a minimal budget for acquisitions, coupled with the problem of offloading overpaid and, frankly, overrated fringe personnel. Loaning players is an option in these testing times, which brings us to Ademola Lookman.

Major update regarding Leicester City loanee Ademola Lookman’s future

Before I assess the Nigeria international’s situation, I must admit that I rate the winger. He is possibly not a guaranteed LCFC starter, but would nevertheless be a quality permanent addition to the squad.

However, Leicester would have agreed to the particularly reasonable £14million buy clause if they were serious about the Wandsworth-born man. Meanwhile Jordan Blackwell confirmed that the player is on the Foxes’ wishlist, though not as a priority target. Furthermore, Lookman will now get his chance to impress Leipzig boss Domenico Tedesco.
