Once the summer is over, Leicester City probably won't be spoken of in the same breath as influential, enormous teams such as Manchester United, Man City, and Arsenal for a good while. Unless the Foxes meet one of those English juggernauts in the League Cup or the FA Cup, it could be years before the quartet are reunited as divisional mates, sad as that fact is for the LCFC Blue Army fan base to acknowledge.
Dwelling in the third tier (a far cry from the upper echelons of the English game) is a similarly tough reality for LCFC fans to swallow, largely due to the financial constraints currently suffocating the once-proud LE2 club. Aside from the competitive exile, supporters in Leicestershire harbour an equally significant, gnawing anxiety: the looming prospect of losing their most precious, burgeoning assets.
Which Leicester City players are set to leave for fees?
It has been suggested by both national and local media that the East Midlands side must urgently balance its accounts to satisfy financial sustainability regulations. Selling key personnel is the main viable mechanism for achieving that particular aim.
So, which of the Foxes' luminaries will find themselves on the transfer list? First of all, the undesirable Harry Winks may still attract a fee from some silly side seeking his experience. Meanwhile, the electrifying Abdul Fatawu is primed for a lucrative departure if the club can leverage his specific transfer clause.
Yet, the primary object of this discourse is elite prospect, Jeremy Monga. The Coventry-born starlet is reportedly being courted by all and sundry, with any club worth its salt desiring his signature.
However, the latest reports suggest that Arsenal are currently the organisation winning the chase. This leaves Manchester United and Man City supporters to contemplate a painful defeat in the market.
"Premier League champions Arsenal are increasingly confident of winning the race for Leicester City wonderkid Jeremy Monga despite fierce competition from Manchester United and Manchester City, TEAMtalk can reveal."
