Thankfully, a so-called important member of the Leicester City squad has not picked up a serious injury. Well, that's according to the latest report, anyway. The news is a positive for Foxes fans - but not for the reason Leeds United supporters would probably expect. And I can assure them that this is not sour grapes, more of a heads up or a word to the wise. Nevertheless, the warning may fall on deaf ears in this instance. And I certainly hope that the Whites recruitment department doesn't read any of this. Regardless of my thoughts, which I will explain as we get into the particulars of the most recent LCFC speculation, James Justin could likely be on the move soon. Yes, his proposesed transfer from Leicestershire to Yorkshire is said to be back on. A switch that will prospectively send the somewhat unprepared full back straight back to the cauldron of Premier League football.
What's the word?
Believe me or not, but most of the plugged-in elements of Leicester's Blue Army fan base considered Justin the most underperforming defender in a ridiculously poor City lineup last season. Consequently, many Foxes such as myself don't actually want the ambipedal in the starting XI.
And I'm not even bitter about the previous campaign (anymore), so don't get it twisted. What Foxes of Leicester only ever seek is the best for the East Midlands club!
James Justin's transfer from Leicester City to Leeds United is reportedly back on after a positive report on the ex-Luton Town man
Therefore we actually champion this permanent sale - not even a temporary loan. And don't get me wrong either, Justin could be a standout player again if he gets the right switch. We wouldn't begrudge him that either.
But what's being claimed about the Fox at the moment? Underneath this paragraph is a quote from Daily Mail via MotLeedsNews:
"According to the Daily Mail on 19 August, there are hopes that the English right-back’s issues are only short-term, giving the Whites’ hierarchy an evident boost.
The news outlet reports that the West Yorkshire outfit are assessing a move for the 27-year-old at Elland Road, and they may be able to get a deal over the line before the end of August."
