3 Things to know about Leicester transfer target Nico Gonzalez

Leicester City are interested in Fiorentina winger Nicolas Gonzalez. Here are the three things you need to know, and our opinion on the possible signing.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are in desperate need of reinforcements as the uptick in form has come off the tracks and left the Foxes in a dire position. Any more losses could see the side plummet down the table, whereas wins could see us claw back positions and progress.

We already know that Leicester are interested in offloading at least two players this January, as well as signing two defenders, a winger, and possibly a midfielder. Victor Kristiansen, Dango Ouattara, and Azzedine Ounahi are some of the links recently. Now, reports connect the East Midlands club to Nico Gonzalez, the Argentinian winger in Serie A.

What Leicester City must know

As is the usual with these pieces, I like to detail the positionality, stylistic preference, and value behind the 24-year-old. Honestly, upon first inspection this is a major downgrade from the hype for Noni Madueke and Ouattara. Let us explore this further.

The Argentinian has not played much during the 22/23 campaign: only seven appearances in the Serie A competition. His season has been plagued with injuries, taking the player out of the side and preventing him from gaining consistency. However, what Rodgers will have noticed was the two goals over the 203 minutes of Serie A game time. Not prolific, but certainly not bad.
