One particular Leicester City signing could turn out to be a wonderful addition. He's even been described as an unavoidable 'missing puzzle piece' by division experts . The loanee, who was secured by King Power recruitment staff on deadline day, also arrived with an 'option to buy' built into his temporary contract. His parent club supposedly confirmed the aforementioned factor which definitely has the Foxes' Blue Army supporters buoyed.
The midfielder is apparently set to be an integral part of City's Championship campaign and push to the Premier League. And I am sure he'd like to be a permanent part of that ascension as well. So, what do we make of claims that this new Fox could be the most important element of this summer's business?
Leicester City signing with option to buy set to be integral this season
LCFC's central midfield has polarised fans over recent years. It's either brilliantly balanced or all over the place if you ask me.
You'd have thought, for example, that Oliver Skipp, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare and Harry Winks could collectively handle the Premier League. Maybe never finding the correct partnership was the unnamed issue there. They didn't work well as a combined force, regardless.
I believed Leicester's midfielders required freshening up. And that scenario did occur this week. Thankfully Aaron Ramsey was captured for the attacking element. While Jordan James could be precisely what was needed in the engine room.
Even James's dad once apparently suggested to him that LCFC would be ideal for his talents. That was a seemingly prophetic notion. The experience of international football at a young age is invaluable also.
Yet it is the box-to-box style which I am most enamoured with. That's been absent on Filbert Way for ages. The 21-year-old provides a goal-threat as well.

Not to mention James possessing the vision and ability to execute accurate long passes. These are the features Leicester desire.
