Loan or permanent Esmir Bajraktarevic transfer possible for Leicester

King Power seeking wingers when that position is saturated is a great example of the LCFC ownership's utter incompetence! It is absolutely obvious that the Foxes hierarchy do not know how to run a successful football team anymore, with priorities so misaligned they threaten to undermine any hope of an immediate climb up the divisions.

Simple and obvious needs are no longer satisfied: the East Midlanders' most pressing need is for further defenders, particularly quality central defenders who actually wish to remain on Filbert Way - and they are in critically short supply right now. In addition to that fact, three or four of these City CBs are said to actively wish to leave, are pushing for respective transfers or are (considering potentially fervent fan backlash) more cowardly 'open to a move', leaving the defensive spine possibly dangerously thin with days remaining in the window.

Baffling priorities: Leicester City's unnecessary winger chase exposes ownership's fundamental misjudgement

So why are Jon Rudkin and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha instructing Martyn Glover (or allowing the recruitment head to make his own mistakes) by targeting another wideman - or even two of them? It is a ridiculous situation but no reflection on the latest linked wideman, Esmir Bajraktarevic, who is himself a talented and promising player simply caught up in the confusion of a chaotic recruitment strategy.

The 21-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international has caught the eye across Europe with his technical quality, direct running and versatility across the front line. After developing in the United States youth systems and moving to Europe from the MLS, he has shown glimpses of the creativity and drive that could add value to any squad.

According to reports from Bosnian-Herzegovinian outlet BHL LIVE and Dutch club media, PSV Eindhoven want to sell Bajraktarevic, and a permanent exit the preferred outcome. However, a loan deal has not been entirely ruled out should a suitable buyer not be found before the looming transfer deadline.

Competition for his signature is fierce, with Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt both credited with interest alongside Leicester, making it even more bewildering that they are diverting attention and resources to a position they are already overstocked in. That a club in desperate need of defensive reinforcements is chasing yet another attacker (while multiple established defenders look for the exit) speaks to a fundamental disconnect between what the team needs and what the ownership is actually delivering.
