Details of Soumare’s exit unusually revealed as DoF thanks player
Foxes of Leicester outline and opine over details of French Fox Boubakary Soumare’s loan exit from Leicester City. Sevilla director of football Victor Orta peculiarly thanked the rated but struggling midfielder. But why would someone in Orta’s position reveal these aspects and single out an ‘underpaid’ athlete?
Soumare either failed to fulfil his promise at Leicester, wasn’t ready for a challenging English Premier League spell – or he isn’t good enough. It’s as simple as that, let’s not beat around the bush. As with much of the 2022/23 squad, in particular, the midfielder wasn’t up to the challenge. Are LCFC better off without him and other similar ‘stars’ on the payroll? I’d say so. Nevertheless, Soumare has only left temporarily – at this stage. His new DoF made some thought-provoking and curious comments on the Frenchman recently, which you can read below:
"“Personally, I want to thank him [Soumare] for the effort he has made, real, in numbers, financially, which is what is shown by the people who want to wear this shirt. We contacted him a long time ago, but we had to hold on until we were able to release economic control to register him and he waited for us until the last day. Giant teams, giants, Italian champions playing in the Champions League called him, with a French coach, logically, but he wanted to wait for us, so I want to thank him.”"
Surprising factor regarding Tom Cannon’s Leicester City transfer revealed
The promising Cannon is yet to prove himself in the EPL, though there is much optimism about his probable capacity as an elite goalscorer. We all know how rare and valuable they are, especially in the modern tactical version of the game. The 20-year-old supposedly had plenty of clubs admiring his play before moving to Leicestershire, they include Sunderland, Preston North End and Middlesbrough. He is certainly one for the LCFC future.

However, there was a little surprise regarding the centreforward’s switch to King Power Stadium from Goodison Park. We feel that it is best for the Blue Army to be aware of these peculiar instances, even if considered unimportant by some. A possibly concerning revelation purports that Leicester head coach Enzo Maresca didn’t actually converse with Cannon before he was signed on transfer deadline day. Make of that what you will; unless they have spoken extensively prior, failing to communicate could be unconducive when considering compatibility.
