Beyond this, value is critical. Those reports believe Fiorentina would like somewhere around €30million, his value being around €23m according to Transfermarkt. Of course, that is a guide and not accurate for real-world transfers. The reality is this: the player scores well, creates well, and is entering their prime; Gonzalez will cost around €30m.

At this price point, the more explosive Ouattara is available. Madueke is likely available for a little more in the summer. The Foxes could have signed both Cengiz Under and Ademola Lookman. €30m is a lot for another injury-prone versatile player.

What Leicester City need is an out and out right-winger who scores, creates, and can play elsewhere. Not a left-winger who can play elsewhere and performs better on the left. After all, the Foxes cannot continue to always play ‘Madders’ at RW: the attacking-midfielder will perform better when surrounded by explosive, prolific players on either side.

As such, I would not be against a loan to buy for around that price just in case the player were to prove me wrong. However, the Foxes should look at Ouattara more closely. How do you rate the latest, fairly high profile link? Let us know on Twitter.
