Amine Harit

I've got no problem with this but please don't let him be our right winger

Leicester City could solve a couple of problems, should they complete the signing of Schalke star Amine Harit, who they have shown an interest in.

Leicester have been one of the quieter sides in the Premier League during the summer transfer window. Indeed, the Foxes have brought in just one player: Alex Smithies.

They have not started the season in the best form. The King Power outfit currently sit 19th in the Premier League, after picking up one point from three games.

Recruiting a fresh face or two might help them to get out of the tough spot they find themselves in.

German outlet Bild reports that Leicester have ‘signalled their interest’ in Schalke midfielder Harit.

Not only might that help the Foxes out, it could also take a weight off Schalke. The report states the German side want to ‘remove’ Harit from their payroll, given financial troubles.

He spent last season on loan at Marseille, which offered Schalke a shirt-term fix. The report states they were hoping the Ligue 1 side would take him off their hands, but they are not willing to spend the required sum.

As such, Schalke will hope that Leicester are indeed keen on taking Harit on board.

He will apparently cost around €10million (£8.5million). That should not be a problem to the Foxes, who have spent nothing so far this window.

As such, they may be able to help Schalke out of their predicament, and end up with a decent player, too.

Harit could add to Leicester quality

Adding Harit into the Leicester side could add to the quality that they already have. Indeed, the Morocco international contributed to eight goals last season, and has twice contributed to 10 league goals during a season in his career.

Given Leicester to finish off games this season – losing a two-goal lead against Brentford, and then drawing the next two Premier League games – adding another player with attacking talent may not be a bad plan.

Indeed, failing to score against Stockport County after 26 shots also shows the need for more quality.

Another reason for Harit seeming a good signing is the form of James Maddison. While the two might not play in the same side, given they operate in the same area, Leicester will want to give him support.

They will also not want a drop-off in quality when he does not play. There is also a chance that he leaves for a bigger side at some point, given he has performed consistently for a few seasons.

Having a ready-made replacement in the side will be a bonus if that does happen.

Love how every player is described as “star” in any article about a potential transfer.

This on a cheap loan and spend money on one/two centre backs I’m happy with. We still score goals we just concede to many so at this point central defence the priority despite us not having sorted a right winger out in god knows how long! 

[Foxxed]

So I’ve learnt he’s had poor attitude problems when we have moral problems, his team wants rid of him, and he doesn’t really play on the right wing. #WelcomeHarit

I really miss signings like Huth, Fuchs and Okazaki

Is he a centre mid 😆 

Just what we want.  Would of thought a winger and a centre half or even a keeper are more important to us. 

No doubt it will be a 4 year deal on 80k a week. A Rudkin special. 

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

He isn’t a player to get excited about. However, his name, Amine means: devoted, honest, straightforward, trusty, worth of belief (believable), loyal, faithful, obedient - he’s going to stay here forever!!

I know, Pearson and his team got most signings right. 

[escape2victory]

I don’t mind this if it’s a loan with an option to buy as being reported. Will presumably be cover for Barnes and Maddison, meaning we wouldn’t have to change to a back 5 if either get injured in the season. Harit, right winger and 2 x CBs before end of window. Wishful thinking I know !

Bit early for the lynch mob of the back of a rumour.

Harit will be the right winger

Written off by most our fans before he’s even kicked a ball 😴😴😴

A few have been before and pretty much always they have been right. Sometimes people know a player is shite. Ghazzel a prime example of this. Harit is a disaster waiting to happen. 

[ronnup]

Feels a bit Cengiz Under

[Clarkey123]

Announce the Moroccan Ghezzal!

[SemperEadem]

I mean they are going to say he is crap due to the club he plays for but the Bochum lot are not fans.

[Molson Canadian]

Has been linked to Liverpool and Villareal in the past must be something there

[HybridFox]

Love the loan with option to buys. If the loan doesn't work out, we don't sign them. If they do great, we still don't sign them

Knockaert, Cambiasdo, Ulloa, Simpson, Fuchs, Huth, Big Wes, Mahrez, Albrighton, Drinkwater and Vardy were ok signings though.

Yes, they were and I am not saying it was good or bad, just that there are both successes and failures from everyone, we should not let contemporary conclusions colour the past records is all.

[Lambert09]

we could sign Benjamin borigeaud and aour for a combined 23m, both of their wages wouldn’t dent kaspers. 

 

it’s genuinely so frustrating that we are avoiding the obvious options here!

Original pirate material, you're listening to The Streets.

His best friend is Hamza Mendyl a leftback who now plays for our other club OH Leuven

[Jimothy]

Genuinely more enthusiastic about the Smithies signing.

[Le Renard]

He has the ability, but I'm not sure if he's going to put in the hard graft for his defensive duties, although the same thing was said about Mahrez and he didn't turn out too bad!
