This is a pretty wild and worrying suggestion for Leicester City's Blue Army to have to confront on New Year's Eve. The best Fox on the books is always going to be linked with exiting Filbert Way, unfortunately. That is a biannual (transfer windows occur twice a year, of course) concern that supporters of our football club have had to accept. Although notable January departures are much rarer.
Under the late, great owner Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the strategy felt less taxing as evolution and progress was regularly realised. We actually overachieved more often than not. The policy of selling a preeminent star (or more than one eminent player) during the summer has become far more taxing under his son and heir, chairman Khun Top (Aiyawatt srivaddhanaprabha).
Should Top, Jon Rudkin and their The King Power International Group influencers decide that LCFC must sell a standout during the coming offseason, many of us will accept the proposal. We shall do so with the vision and safety of the future of the East Midlands outfit at heart. Though allowing somebody like Abdul Fatawu to depart when the upcoming January market is active would be a very difficult sell for the ownership.
An unlikely claim is made that Leicester City man Abdul Fatawu is on the verge on signing for Italian club Napoli
If we trust reports from July and August, Fatawu was in the sights of newly promoted Premier League team Sunderland. Thankfully, City held out and kept the thrilling Ghana international baller.
It would be no surprise whatsoever if talk of other EPL sides such as Bournemouth (looking to replace Antoine Semenyo) are particularly interested. Everton have also been linked with a serious interest in the winger, who is sumptuous on his day.
Even Chelsea may be eyeing a swoop for Fatawu; I wouldn't be surprised. Yet this outlet's assertion that a deal to SSC Napoli is set to go ahead is questionable:
"Fatawu set for historic Serie A move: Italian giants prepare €25 million bidYen News
SSC Napoli are gearing up for a bold push in the winter transfer window, with plans underway to land a new attacking option valued at €25 million. According to Fichajes, the Italian side have identified Abdul Fatawu Issahaku as a central figure in their January recruitment strategy."
