HankMarvin Posted 26 December 2015 Posted 26 December 2015 Leicester plotting transfer of PSV Eindhoven defender Santiago Arias Boss Claudio Ranieri wants to strengthen the right-hand side of his defence and sees the 20-capped Colombian as the perfect Manchester-United-FC-v-PSV-Eindhoven-UEFA-Champions-LeagueMatthew Peters Target: Arias has 20 caps for Colombia and played three games in the 2014 World Cup Leicester City have enquired about PSV Eindhoven defender Santiago Arias. Claudio Ranieri wants to strengthen the right-hand side of the Foxes defence and his recruitment team have identified the Colombian international as the one who fits the brief. The full-back has impressed all season and was one of the club’s star performers as they knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League. A host of clubs from around Europe are now tracking Arias but Leicester are ahead of the game - and they believe they can pull off what would represent a significant coup. Arias already has 20 caps for his country. Eindhoven insist they do not want to sell but a big offer could temp
Vindaloo FOX Posted 26 December 2015 Posted 26 December 2015 we would need to break our record if want this guy, anyone know when his contract is up ?
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 26 December 2015 Posted 26 December 2015 Sounds like we've identified right back as an area to improve - or maybe CR wants to go back to an era where we could field a team full of right backs?
Gerard Posted 26 December 2015 Posted 26 December 2015 A few comments on here about him, very quick and best RB in Holland (not that hard tbf). http://www.futhead.com/16/players/1283/santiago-arias/ Arsenal were also interested last season which is always nice to here. http://metro.co.uk/2015/02/11/arsenal-transfer-target-santiago-arias-keen-on-switch-to-premier-league-5058515/
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 26 December 2015 Posted 26 December 2015 Fuchs me we already have Kante now we need an arias
Donut Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 I actually said we should go after this guy in the January wish list thread. Think he would be great for us.
MPH Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 James Fuchs King inler Arias. You just couldn't make it up.
Vindaloo FOX Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 the real question is, is he as good as Hossein Kaebi ?
Vindaloo FOX Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 we have gone and spent big upfront with Ulloa , Shinji and Kram but I would love us to spend big at the back, a solid defence is key .
MC Prussian Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 Ticks the box in all the right Arias. (I'll get my coat)
foxfanazer Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 You can't get away with the name Santiago unless you're boss at football. Gerrimin
johnny the fox Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 Obligatory you tube clip. yep but can he defend?
Seth's dong Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 Is he as good as Alan Paris or Rob Johnson?
Rushden fox Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 Would love this guy to join.....a statement of intent right there
Nick Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 Described as a 'Full Back' but he's more like a 'Right Wing Back......' Quick, good with the ball at his feet. That's right.... I watched the video too. Sign him up. Although we already have De Laet who's very quick on the counter..... Can this fella actually defend?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 December 2015 Posted 27 December 2015 Hey has anyone noticed that Fuchs' surname sounds a bit like the English expletive, fu.cks? Hopefully we get never ending jokes about possible teamsheets, the possibilities are endless and so is the fun
