Will We Sign a Winger?!

Once again we’re being linked to another winger, which we all know that we could do with a new addition to the team on the attacking side, but what does that mean for the likes of Barnes? Will we give Lookman a contract that many fans think he deserves? Will Albrighton keep on being featured this season?

With all this said, we have another rumour [Source: Leicester Mercury] that Mohammed Elyounoussi from Southampton is on the clubs radar…

What do YOU know about him, and do you think he will suit our squad? Read more down below here about Elyounoussi!

He them moved onto Molde back in 2014-16, making 70 appearances and scoring 30 goals! Creating a very good track record for himself.

In 2018, he joined Premier League rivals Southampton, playing 16 games, getting 0 goals and 0 assists, not solidifying his track record he has proven in the past…

He got sent out on loan to Scottish giants Celtic, playing only 10 matches in the 19 matches in all competitions for them, scoring 7 goals and getting 4 assists (11 G+A) which got him another season long loan at Celtic, and it’s safe to say he thrived in his second season!

In this season, he made 31 appearances for Southampton, scoring 7 goals and getting 4 assists, which is okay, but not up to standards his can do…

What do you think of him? Do you think he will suit Leicester?

Fans thoughts on Elyounoussi

“All the stats and facts lineup to he can’t perform in the Premier League, and that the lower league is more his style. Yes, he did well in Celtic’s squad, but to be honest there is only 2 decent teams in that league and the rest are ‘farmers league’ teams… For me with all the other rumoured wingers like Diop and Madueke, and optop of this we should sign Lookman! He’s been a solid player for us and there’s no reason we should not sign him. He’s proven, solid and committed to the club, whether he should just be a sub player, we should sign him, but Elyounoussi? I don’t think so, it’s a backwards step” – Sam

“He has had amazing games in the lower leagues, but the fact he has been at Southampton and can’t do it there proves to me he can’t do it in a Leicester team. He has been given the chance to play in the Prem and in the 2 season’s he has been at Southampton before and after the loan spell, he has not been consistently good enough, so for me i would not take him” – Reedy
