Three players Leicester City should target to replace James Maddison
The summer transfer window has so far not been as action-packed as expected but a number of big deals seems to be in the pipeline. And, one of the players who could be on a move is Leicester City star midfielder James Maddison.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder continues to attract interest from a number of clubs especially Arsenal and a move to Emirates this summer can still be on the cards.
Brendan Rodgers will have a huge task in his hands to replace his key creator if he loses his number ten especially at this point of the season. However, the Foxes are believed to be prepared and have already started looking for potential replacements of the former Norwich City star. Here, we take a look at potential replacements of Maddison at the King Power Stadium.
Houssem Aouar – Olympique Lyonnais
A player who has been long-linked with a move to the Premier League, Houssem Aoaur still remains an Olympique Lyonnais player and could prove to be the answer to James Maddison’s departure from Leicester City. The Frenchman was close to joining Arsenal last summer but the move failed to materialize and his stock has fallen drastically since then.
Aouar is a technically gifted and versatile midfielder who has all the ingredients to replace a creative midfielder like Maddison and is still just 23 years of age. And, he is also reportedly available at a bargain price which makes him perfect for Rodgers’ youthful and ambitious Leicester City side.
