ITK transfer account worries Leicester fans with Admir Bristrić visa talk

Leicester City fans are finally set to have their wish for a striker granted; a move the East Midlands club truly need after a void opened up in attack not long ago. Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew, the pair of unsatisfactory senior strikers previously on the books, left when their contracts expired; the Blue Army faithful were pleased to see both go, even if Daka was a likeable figure.

First of all, Ayew was a dreadful idea of a signing and an awful acquisition in actuality. One who performed terribly overall for LCFC during his time at King Power Stadium; to give the Ghanaian Jamie Vardy's shirt number was a disgrace!

Secondly, Daka, who spent quite a few years with the club, never truly found his scoring boots. The Zambian managed just one hat-trick, with a four-goal haul many seasons ago, and a couple of important goals last term; he should have achieved far more, especially while the Foxes were in the Championship.

Now that Kirsten Otchere is out on loan and seen as too young to be the main man, Nathan Opoku stands as the only senior centre-forward at the club right now. Fans had hoped to see Dom Ballard arrive, but he went elsewhere, while Lorent Tolaj also joined Bristol City, leaving both options and time quickly running out.

The new proposed Leicester City centre forward

It appears those in charge on Filbert Way have settled on Admir Bristrić, a central attacker who has represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at under-21 international level. He was prolific last season, yet questions remain over the move: recruiting from the Slovenian League is polarizing, with some seeing it as a destination to unearth the next hidden gem, while others view it as a cheap way to capture potentially mediocre players.

The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle, though unearthing potential stars is something LCFC can and has done successfully prior. But Leicester fans were left worried on Thursday morning, after one of these so-called 'in the know' accounts claimed there might be a visa issue in Austria holding up the Bristrić transfer.

Thankfully, that same account later posted on X that the visa was sorted and the 23-year-old is now currently on his way to England, flying in for a medical and subsequently Foxes media duties. There is now far more positive talk surrounding the situation, with the deal expected to be completed imminently. Everything is now reportedly signed.
