Before the January transfer window opens, FLW has identified two Foxes players who are in need of a career turnaround at Leicester City.
Leicester City is striving to make a swift return to the Premier League as they continue their journey in the Championship under the guidance of Enzo Maresca. Following their relegation last season, the club has bid farewell to 15 players, with the departure of key figures like James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, and Timothy Castagne bringing in significant funds.
As the January transfer window approaches, Maresca will be evaluating the squad to determine who will contribute to their push for promotion. Here at Football League World, we have highlighted two players who need to revitalize their careers in a Leicester shirt.
First on the list is Patson Daka, who arrived at the club in 2021 with high expectations after an impressive stint with Red Bull Salzburg. However, his performance in the Premier League has not met the same standards, and he now faces tough competition for a starting position in the forward line.
The Zambian international will need to step up his game and demonstrate a significant improvement in performances to secure regular minutes on the pitch. If he fails to do so, it is likely that he will seek a fresh start elsewhere in the new year.
The second player is Marc Albrighton, a loyal servant to Leicester City who has seen his game time decrease in recent seasons. With the emergence of young talents in the squad, Albrighton will need to prove his worth in the coming months to secure his future at the club.
As Maresca evaluates his options, Albrighton will have to work hard to change the manager’s perception of his role in the team. Otherwise, a departure from the club in January could be on the cards.
