It seems as though one Leicester City star in particular did not go under the radar last season. Obviously Foxes fans know exactly which two players are the most talented or valuable among their squad. And we suspect that our owners, who are now in a contemporary mess, would probably sell either or even both assets.
That's if the right price is offered, naturally. City are notoriously tough negotiators, having sold many prominent players over the years. They will not be dictated to and will, historically, hold out for their valuation to be met. In spite of Profit and Sustainability worries, the East Midlanders are typically steadfast, or even hard-headed in discussions.
Anyway, the Fox in question at the heart of this piece is certainly a wanted man with no less than five Premier League teams interested in signing him this summer. He's said to be tracked by by Arsenal, Aston Villa, West Ham United, Leeds United and Sunderland. He must possess some ability to be monitored by so many outstanding outfits.
But which club is more likely to be serious enough to actually sign the latest King Power baller? What kind of fee will reportedly make LCFC bosses listen? And where do Foxes of Leicester believe he'll end up?
Leicester City star eyed by sides such as Arsenal, Aston Villa, Sunderland, West Ham United and Leeds United
First of all, West Ham are being pretty cheeky under their most recent manager, Graham Potter. The failed Chelsea head coach - who succeeded at Brighton & Hove Albion - is reportedly after a Foxes duo. Potter wants Bilal El Khannouss and Mads Hermansen, if we trust reporting.

Yet this article concerns El Khannouss. The Moroccan playmaker is definitely of English top flight standard. Evidently, although I'd love for him to stay, he deserves another crack at the EPL.

FoL would admire City for holding out for the £40 million El Khannouss is worth. I don't think he's ready for the Gunners; any alternative is suitable.
