Midfielder’s Leicester contract, Souttar’s vow, international roundup

Foxes of Leicester run through the latest Leicester City news. Including: midfielder Hamza Choudhury’s apparent LCFC contract renewal talks, Harry Souttar promising to do everything he can to impress Foxes manager Enzo Maresca, not to mention an international roundup for all senior players.

First of all, let’s talk Choudhury. The Leicester City Football Club Academy graduate has just one year of his existing deal remaining. The defensive midfield man has been a most loyal Fox over his time served on Filbert Way. However, he has rarely had a decent run in the team to showcase his ball-winning and passing skills. Choudhury was once again linked with a move away from King Power Stadium during the summer following a successful spell at Watford on loan. He now has another difficult decision to make as he is still not part of the Leicester starting lineup.

Nevertheless, staying as a helpful squad player beyond 2023/24 is not out of the question, either. LCFC are reportedly planning on offering the home grown athlete an extension anyway. Meanwhile, outcast Souttar is intent on regaining some form of status with the Leicestershire side. The Australian has not featured once in competitive action for the team in blue this season. When the former Stoke City defender first joined Leicester I was delighted because I considered him one of the most promising up-and-coming centrebacks around. I wonder what went wrong inside the club that we don’t know about.

A rundown of the Leicester City stars’ most recent international displays
