Leicester City managed to hold onto the majority of their squad from last season, resulting in a strong start to the 2023-24 season. Despite the departure of some big earners, key players like Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi stayed with the team under new head coach Enzo Maresca. The team also made some smart recruitment moves, bringing in experienced and young talent to bolster their lineup.
One standout player this season has been Abdul Fatawu, a 19-year-old winger loaned in from Sporting CP. Despite only scoring once and assisting once in his 11 Championship outings, Fatawu has impressed with his skill and direct style of play. His development with Sporting CP caught the attention of top clubs like Liverpool, and Leicester has secured a fixed-fee agreement to sign him permanently if they are promoted to the Premier League.
With his pace and dribbling abilities, Fatawu has the potential to become a valuable asset for Leicester in the coming years. His performance as the sixth-best dribbler in the division is a testament to his potential as a top player in the future. If he continues to develop, Leicester could have a £50 million player on their hands in the future.
