Happily for supporters of Leicester City Football Club, the ownership and recruitment were able to secure one of the standout young Foxes in the squad. In fact, this is a really youthful player on LCFC's books. However, the footballer in question has managed to make his mark on the team already. And, impressively, the versatile midfielder has even got himself into latest Leicester head coach Marti Cifuentes' starting XI on more than one occasion this season.
With this level of standing at such a young age, 17, the City Academy graduate is of course monitored by so-called bigger sides in England and probably abroad as well. As a matter of fact, the Fox hadn't actually signed a first professional contract with the King Power outfit until recently, or with any other outfit to be fair. It is said, worryingly, that the up-and-coming baller was reported close to joining external teams. And we are talking about Premier League giants here.
That was before Louis Page penned his maiden deal as a 'senior' Fox whilst still a teenager. But which clubs were trying to steal him away from the East Midlands? Let's discover the names.

According to a report, the Lutterworth-born athlete mulled over other "offers" emanating from huge English top flight sides prior to agreeing to stay in LE2. That's what EFL Analysis declare of Page.
