What to know about Leicester City target Matt O’Riley

Whenever identifying a talent for transfer, any analyst must consider positionality, a prolific nature, technical ability, stylistic preferences, value, and long term viability. Not all of these are easy to notice or evidentially state, so a lot will come down to the ‘eye test’. O’Riley certainly passes this eye test.

The 21-year-old is a breakout start at Celtic. Having started much of his early development and career at Fulham, he only joined the Scottish Premiership side in the 21/22 campaign. However, since then the talent has burst onto the scene.
