The player’s future at Leicester City seemed in doubt, but a recent string of impressive performances for Enzo Maresca’s team may have saved his career with the club.
With the January transfer window looming, it appeared that Daka’s time at Leicester might be coming to an end. However, the striker has stepped up in the absence of Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho, scoring or assisting three goals in his last three Championship games.
Since failing to secure a move away from Leicester during the summer, Daka has struggled to secure regular playing time under Maresca. Despite initial setbacks, he has now started the last three games and has made a significant impact on the field.
The former RB Salzburg forward joined the team with high expectations, hoping for a substantial role after Leicester’s relegation to the Championship. Although he initially struggled to find his place, recent performances have demonstrated his potential and ability to contribute to the team.
Despite being linked with potential moves to several clubs, including AC Milan, Bournemouth, Everton, and Monaco, Daka has shown his value to Leicester, particularly in recent matches. His impressive statistics prior to joining the team, along with his consistent contributions on the field, indicate that he has a strong future with the club.
With Vardy’s advancing age and Iheanacho’s contract situation, Daka’s resurgence may see him secure a more permanent role in the squad. His recent performances have certainly given Maresca and the Leicester hierarchy reason to reconsider their initial doubts about his future with the club. Overall, Daka’s revival bodes well for Leicester’s challenging second half of the season and his continued presence will be crucial for the team’s success.
