Apart from Jordan James's impressive exploits this season, Leicester City supporters haven't been given hardly anything to be positive about. The collective mood at King Power Stadium has often mirrored the gloom of an unforgiving Championship winter.
Yet, amidst the senior side's struggles, the excellent work being done at Seagrave and beyond by LCFC's great scouting and youth recruiting system remains a gold standard. Certainly for EFL sides, if not higher up the food chain, the Foxes continuously generate quality Foxes.
Full internationals even emerge from this esteemed East Midlands conveyor belt. The current crop of youthful footballers on the LE2 roster may contain the most mined gems of all.
Much of Leicester's fan base will have heard of up-and-coming players who could well be key next season: Sammy Braybrooke, Jayden Joseph, and Jake Evans, to name a trio. However, three even more high-profile youngsters are supposedly being monitored by teams as huge as Manchester United.

A report suggests the Red Devils are preparing a formal approach to steal Jeremy Monga, Louis Page and Bade Aluko, viewing them as cornerstones for an INEOS-led revolution. Monga is City's young crown jewel: a 16-year-old explosive winger and England youth international who became the club's youngest-ever starter.

Monga's fearless dribbling has made him a household name among scouts across the continent. Louis Page represents the sophisticated engine room, a rangy Three Lions youngster who marries defensive grit with an effortless, progressive stride in midfield.
Finally, Olabade "Bade" Aluko provides the bedrock: an imposing and versatile rearguard operator trusted within the country's National Team ecosystem too. While Leicester hope to secure their futures this July, the allure of Old Trafford, or others, present a formidable threat to the Foxes' long-term structure.
