Leicester City 'eyeing up' prolific striker as January transfer stance outlined

Latest Leicester City news as January transfer window looms on horizon for Enzo Maresca's Foxes

 

Leicester City-linked Ben Brereton-Diaz in action for Villarreal

 

 

 

Leicester City are said to be eyeing up Villarreal forward Ben Brereton-Diaz ahead of the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old could soon be on the move again, a matter of months after he made the switch to Spain. And the Foxes are reportedly keeping tabs on him.

However, City are not the only club said to be showing an interest. According to TEAMtalk, a number of Premier League and Championship teams are keen on the former Blackburn Rovers striker.

No from me.

6 month loan with no obligation to buy if we do go for him

 

Especially if we do end up with any decent interest in Nacho

[frany104]

If he’s on loan there is absolutely no risk and all reward. 
 

I certainly wouldn’t be looking to buy him.

Gerrimin before Leeds do

Exactly this, decent championship striker, fairly mobile and would give an presence in the box 

[Lionator]

I can't believe he's only 24. 

 

Would like to see how Cannon gets on before going in for him though.

[Langston]

I don't actually think we'd need him if we're in a good position, AFCON or not. Would only be half tempted if it was 6 months with no obligation.

[kingkisnorbo]

Yes.

"Alexa, give me an example of something that's super sexy combined with something that isn't very sexy at all" 

 

"Ben Brereton-Diaz, a Chilean international striker who was born in Stoke-on-Trent" 

Yes please.

[Dan]

It's strange to say given the personnel we have but the strikers have struggled for large parts of this season.

[FoxinNotts]

Gerrrimin. Rotate him with Mavididi. Left hand side of front line, sorted.

[Stevosevic]

Good chance none of Vardy, Daka and Iheanacho will be here next season. 
 

Might be a shrewd move for now and as a squad player next season.

And 3 of them might not be here next season. 
 

Vardy to retire

Iheanacho contract expired

Daka not wanted 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Yeah, I think so, he's mobile, has some presence and undoubtedly an eye for goal, think he'd fit in well to a Maresca team.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Had a very good 21/22 season but his output has significantly reduced since. Don't think he's PL standard and that's what we need to be looking for.

[LVFox]

Get him and Sydney Van Hooijdonk in till end of season, let Kelechi, Daka and Wanya go in Jan.

[Focks]

Reminds me of Ulloa

Ulloa was also eligible for Chile now you mention it.

I don’t think we necessarily need to be looking for a PL striker at the moment

 

If we lose both Nacho and Daka in Jan, get this guy in on loan until the summer and then in the summer we can buy a PL striker

[Finnegan]

As others have said, absolutely do not buy. But loan sure. 

[Lambert09]

didn’t realise he was only 24… I really don’t see the issue if we set our own terms. Make sure there’s an option though because if he clicks then we could be laughing.

[Jimmy]

if we offload Nacho and Daka then this makes sense otherwise we'd have 5 strikers for one place in the side

[Daveb5569]

Loan only should be the only option
