LEICESTER IN FOR THOMAS

Leicester have made an offer of just under £500,000 for Coventry youngster George Thomas,Sky Sports News HQ understands.

The 20-year-old is out of contract but Coventry are due compensation and the Foxes are trying to negotiate a settlement. 

Thomas - a Wales U20 international who scored the winner for Coventry in their EFL Trophy triumph at Wembley in April - is also of interest to Swansea.

He is a product of Coventry's academy and the club offered him a new deal, meaning they are due compensation for a player who has been on their books for 11 years.

We've not splashed the cash but I'm happy with our spending on some of these developmental projects. Shows long-term planning and could pay big dividends down the road as the costs of player purchases continue to rise.

Surprised so many clubs are after him. Was decent for us last season, but didn't set the world alight. Couldn't imagine him being anything special in the Championship, let alone the top flight. Most fans will be disappointed that he'll be gone as he scored the winner in the final.

What qualities does he have bud?

He's for our development squad.

Apparently he's on the verge of signing for us.

 

It looks like we're really stepping up our recruitment in terms of young, promising talent.

 

The article says he's likely to be loaned out, which makes sense as he's used to first team senior football and it will be interesting to see how he develops.

 

In an ideal world, he'd go straight back to Cov as he knows the club and the setup. But I guess we might want him playing at a higher level - maybe League One or even Championship - and at a club that's a little less volatile.

Hard to pinpoint. Best to describe him as a bit of an all-rounder. Not particularly quick and only a small lad.

Works very hard. 

 

Looks like the deal is all but done.

Albrighton type?

My best mate is a Cov fan and he's said its hard to explain whether he's any good or not. Apparently he's a very good finisher and quite determined but other than that he's nothing fancy.
