Abdul Fatawu is currently out in Kansas City at the World Cup with his nation of Ghana.
Carlos Queiroz's Black Stars will be participating in the knockout rounds of the famed competition, as they face Colombia in the round of 32 this coming Saturday at the Kansas City Stadium.
They have a laboured 0-0 draw with England to thank for their progression, as Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions were frustrated throughout the dull contest.
Fatawu sparkled in glimpses against England, as he tried to give Ghana an attacking threat in the latter stages of the goalless draw, with the Leicester City attacker eyeing up a big move this summer, after the Foxes succumbed to the embarrassing reality of back-to-back relegations.
Fatawu on the move
It's not just Fatawu in isolation in the Ghana camp who boasts Leicester connections, with Jordan Ayew also participating in the illustrious tournament right now for his country.
Ayew is no longer on the Leicester roster, as he was released at the end of the season, and it looks likely that the one-time Sporting winger will follow suit shortly in leaving the Midlands behind.
This time around, however, Leicester will be able to bank some money, rather than having to come to terms with offloading a flop for nothing, with West Ham United very keen to land the 22-year-old, after their own relegation to the Championship.
Reports had suggested that the Hammers were close to wrapping up a deal for Fatawu for around the £14.6m mark, as Nuno Espirito Santo's men hunt down a second-tier-ready winger, with both Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen likely to be on the move.
For a player who is currently performing on the world's biggest stage and has 15 goals, 21 assists, and a promotion out of the Championship next to his name, this feels like a cheap deal, with additional reports revealing that £20m is a more plausible price tag.
Leicester must be prepared to drive a hard bargain with the East London giants, so they can get the best possible deal for Fatawu, with a new development indicating that West Ham won't be low on cash.
Leicester must drive a harder bargain
Amazingly, despite tasting the bitter pill of relegation two seasons on the bounce, Mateus Fernandes is set to be a club record buy for Tottenham Hotspur.
Indeed, the latest development suggests that an eye-watering £85m deal has been agreed for Fernandes to leave West Ham behind to defect over enemy lines to Spurs.
This will gift the Hammers a sizeable chunk of money as they rebuild after relegation to the Championship.
Leicester must be aware that their transfer kitty has been significantly boosted, so they don't go into negotiations with West Ham and offer Fatawu for pennies.
Rather, they must launch themselves into talks over selling their star Ghanaian, knowing that he has a reported release clause of £30m next to his name, and West Ham seem to have the funds to go ahead with such an expensive deal.
Fatawu could well live up to his £30m billing if he goes and grabs a memorable World Cup goal against Colombia, with the Leicester number seven set for a pricey move away from the King Power this summer, when the world's biggest tournament has died down.
