£18mil 😂. Let all pull our pants down and give it a shake for that money.

It's referring to the Soumare deal.

Aha, thought it sounded too good to be true

Hamza's agent will be demanding 10 grand a week more from Newcastle or he will be going nowhere. Contracted till 2023 and anything could happen in the meantime.

I doubt that, I think he wants out and wants regular football. Sitting here for another 2 years will mean he's almost 26 before he starts getting regular first team football at another club, that won't do his career any favours.

This has gone very quiet.  We need to free up number 20.

why we can just change his number like we did Nacho to give Tielemans 8

We can. Gave 10 to Maddison while King was still here, as well, didn't we?

Number 7 is still free lads. Although, think Barnes deserves it. 

7 is cursed, give it to Perez, could't do worse

Daka has chosen 20 for the majority of his career.   His first season with RBS was 40 something, but other than that it appears he played with 20 on his back.  To say to Hamza 'Hello squire we are taking number 20 off you and flogging you as soon as possible' is not very Leicester.

we did it to Andy King of all people so doing it to Hamza is nothing

It's also possible that he would come in and ask Hamza for the 20 shirt and he'd say "yeah no problem mate". I would imagine there are quite a lot of players who aren't that arsed about what shirt number they have and it's not like Hamza's had 20 all his life either.

We all know Ashley is a tight bastard and I'm guessing for 1st team prem action that that's where he'd go.

 

The spanner in the works would be if he wanted to go to Palace after 10 of their squad left this summer that they've got to replace. They must be bogged down with time consuming paperwork no doubt for all the other incomings they need. 

[Collymore]

Is this him at Wimbledon?

I think Palace suits him way better than Newcastle.

Location wise yep! With all their expenditure though It makes you wonder how much salaries they can give out after all of the new incomings.

Bit sad to see one of our own go to be honest but no point sticking around now Soumaré has signed.

Always hope that home grown players make it and shine for us but, whilst undoubtedly talented with the latest crop of recruits just cannot see him getting much pitch time next season. Most likely would have left January except for our injury crisis so can see him pushing for a move. 

Still, a local lad with an fa cup winners medal so he will hopefully move on with good memories. Wish him well if he does go and hope he fulfills some of his early promise.

Newcastle still interested, wouldn’t be surprised if they try for a loan again 

 

“Midfield is an area Bruce has been looking to overhaul for 18 months and Newcastle retain a strong interest in Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury. Having failed to sign the player on loan in January, Newcastle have continued contact with Leicester and sources in the East Midlands suggest a deal for the 23-year-old could potentially be resurrected.”

Imagine they will want a season long loan. Not the worst option for us really, as he is a local lad and at 23, could come back after a season and be much improved.

Think it's definitely time for Hamza to move on, I'd even put KDH ahead of him at this time and we have at least 1 too many centre midfielders in the squad at the moment.
Either Palace or Newcastle would be a good move for him, I can't help but feel the Premier League isn't his level but really hope he proves me wrong.

I still think he would be good in a bottom half prem team where his technical skills aren’t too important and he just mainly needs to press and tackle - can’t really fault him for how much he runs about when he plays, just needs to fine tune his tackling a bit haha

In todays Mail. 

Leicester say there has been interest in Hamza Choudhury from Newcastle United but the North East club are struggling to match his valuation.

Hope he goes 

lost his confidence after that tackle on Newcastle player.

I can see it being a loan to Newcastle towards the end of the transfer window
