We have two stories to discuss with the Blue Army on Thursday evening. First of all, Leicester City Football Club has received a desperately required financial boost. We detail much-needed cash injection. Not to mention offering our thoughts on where proceeds will be spent or invested. But why the windfall?
As well as looking at LCFC's cash, there is another matter to attend to in order to bring us up-to-date with the King Power outfit's affairs. A Foxes loanee has now returned to the East Midlands Team. Unless the player in question is eventually sold or loaned out again, he'll be in City's Championship squad for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
Talking Leicester City's much-needed cash injection and consequent implications for Foxes side
LCFC will accept any financial help they can get. And when you hear that EPL clubs will each get a share of a £2.84billion position bonus, your ears prick up. However, that means City are only granted £8.5m.
That's a rather insignificant amount in footballing terms. Though any money coming to Filbert Way is naturally welcomed. Let's hope it's invested wisely for a change these days!
Academy graduate and reliable utility team member has returned to Leicestershire club
Hamza Choudhury has never really made himself a Premier League starter during his now quite long career as a Fox. Although he did feature more regularly under ex-Leicester manager Enzo Maresca.
And the Bangladeshi was a success for the Italian. Whilst playing in the 2023/24 term, Choudhury made it known that he's a competent inverted full back at tier two level at least. He's also now said goodbye to the Sheffield United fans.
"I want to thank everyone associated with Sheffield United, the Gaffer and his staff, all my teammates and to every single fan for making my time so memorable here! I've loved being able to play and represent this special club! UTB"Sheffield Star
LCFC obviously have funding issues, so signing further proven midfielders is unforeseeable. When some in that role possibly leave, such as Wilfred Ndidi or perhaps Oliver Skipp, a gap must be filled. Therefore maybe keeping Choudhury is wise.
