This season, Leicester City has relied on Kelechi Iheanacho as their primary striker, but he has sparked the interest of other clubs as the January transfer window approaches. Fenerbahçe, a Turkish team, is reportedly eager to secure Iheanacho as their top target to strengthen their attacking options. With Iheanacho’s contract with the Foxes ending next summer, a move to a new club may be on the horizon.
This potential departure would leave Enzo Maresca with limited choices in the forward position. While Tom Cannon has returned from injury, Patson Daka is on the fringes, and Jamie Vardy is aging, prompting the need for another striker.
As a result, here are three potential strikers that Leicester City should consider signing in the upcoming winter transfer window:
Rafiu Durosinmi – Viktoria Plzen
Durosinmi, only 20 years old, has already made a mark at Viktoria Plzen, scoring nine goals and providing six assists in 19 games this season. Although currently injured, Leicester City could secure a promising talent for the future by signing Durosinmi.
Miles Leaburn – Charlton Athletic
At 19 years old, Leaburn has shown his potential at Charlton Athletic with seven goals and two assists in 15 games this season, adding to his total of 20 goals in 55 appearances for the club. A move to the Championship could be the perfect next step for his development.
Jeremy Ebobisse – San Jose Earthquakes
For a more experienced option, Leicester City could consider Ebobisse, who is 26 years old and approaching the end of his contract with San Jose Earthquakes after a successful season with 10 goals and four assists in 34 MLS games. His potential move overseas could present an exciting opportunity for both the player and the club.
