As Marc Albrighton’s £45,000 per week contract is set to expire in June, Leicester City should give him a proper farewell, just like they did for Jamie Vardy.
While Vardy may be the standout talent in the team, it’s important not to overlook Albrighton’s contributions to the club. Since joining from Aston Villa in 2014, he has been a crucial player, helping the team avoid relegation in 2015 and being a key part of the historic title-winning side in 2016.
Despite his contract coming to an end, Albrighton’s impact on the club should not be forgotten. He played a significant role in one of the greatest achievements in football history, the Leicester City team that defied all odds to win the Premier League. His work on the left-hand side allowed stars like Riyad Mahrez to shine, and his consistent performances were crucial in the club’s success.
Even as the team has changed over the years, Albrighton has remained loyal to Leicester City. With over 300 appearances for the club, he has been a constant presence, showing dedication and commitment to the team.
As he and Vardy head towards the end of their contracts, both players deserve recognition for their contributions to Leicester City. Despite the spotlight being on Vardy for his goal-scoring abilities, Albrighton’s impact on the team is just as significant and should be celebrated as such.
