Leicester City’s preferred right winger transfer target is revealed. In the meantime, Foxes head coach Enzo Maresca hails Cesare Casadei’s match-winning goal versus Cardiff City on his debut at King Power Stadium.

The search to fill Riyad Mahrez’s boots at Leicester will possibly never be fulfilled, and shall in-turn be everlasting. A place remains vacant for a particularly gifted left-footed right wingman.

Could the Foxes still find another decent winger during this transfer window? Maybe. Jordan Blackwell revealed LCFC’s main target for that role to be Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

It was an Italian to the rescue as his boss looked on presumably knowingly after introducing his young compatriot. But did Casadei bail out Maresca on his Foxes debut, or did the gaffer read the situation and write the script with ingenuity and understanding of the scenario? We will never truly know the answer to that question. Yet a 100 percent winning-streak cannot be argued with.

Following the match, Leicester’s head coach spoke to the media about defeating the Welsh team and Casadei’s timely goal. As the three point-claiming 92nd minute strike hit the net, Maresca was in an unfortunate and slightly comical position. The manager was in the process of complaining to the fourth official about a penalty, so didn’t actually even see the winner. The latter immediately began celebrating as the home crowd prompted him by celebrating.

Maresca lauded the Chelsea midfielder, who is on loan with the east Midlands team from Chelsea, for his box-to-box style and finish. In spite of relying on tight margins and late victories, the former Manchester City coach praised the LCFC performance; he sees improvement and seems relatively enthused after the record start of four consecutive triumphs.
