Leicester City appear to be on track for a quick return to the Premier League after spending just one season in the second tier. Many believe that Enzo Maresca inherited a team capable of dominating the Championship, and despite losing key players in the summer, the Foxes have continued to impress.
Despite the departure of James Maddison, Leicester has not felt the impact of losing such a talented player. Maresca had initially targeted Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley as a replacement, but a deal failed to materialize. Now, it seems that the Foxes are once again setting their sights on the Danish international as the January transfer window approaches.
While a move to a club that has only dropped eleven points all season and is likely to return to the Premier League may seem like a no-brainer, O’Riley’s impressive performances have drawn interest from several established Premier League and European teams. It has been reported that Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford, Brighton, and West Ham United are all interested in the midfielder, but Leicester would have to pay a club-record fee to secure his services.
At just 23 years old, O’Riley’s potential has attracted significant attention, and many believe he would be a valuable addition to the Leicester squad as they aim for a top-flight return. However, the competition for his signature may be tough to overcome, and it remains to be seen if Leicester can secure a deal for the talented midfielder.
