Cameron Archer: Striker Aston Villa

This will likely be a loan deal. But, this is a move the Foxes should not miss out on. Cameron Archer was unreal during his loan spell at Middlesbrough. However, with Aston Villa having Ollie Watkins, Danny Ings, and still looking for a striker in the summer transfer window, it will be a challenge for Archer to find playing time. So why not have him at the King Power Stadium?

17 G+A in 20 appearances for a 21-year-old striker is brilliant. He is a very similar player to Kelechi Iheanacho where he can always get the ball in the back of the net and still provide you with linkup play. Leicester played its best football when Iheanacho was healthy up top. I believe Iheanacho is likely to leave this summer so let’s replace him with a youngster who plays just like him.

Ilias Chair: Attacking Midfielder QPR

If you’re being called the potential James Maddison replacement, the pressure is on and you must be a baller. This is exactly what Ilias Chair is. The 25-year-old Moroccan has been fantastic for Queen Park Rangers in his spell there. In the past four seasons he’s played almost 40 games every season. Not once has he had below 10 G+A. This is with QPR. Imagine what he could do with actual talent around him?

When it comes to the skills you look for in an attacking midfielder, Chair is good at all of them. He’s good on the ball, he can dribble, he can pass, and he can score. There are too many dimensions in this player to ignore. For a cheap price the Foxes can get the Championship version of Maddison.
