Callum O'Hare labelled as Leicester City option amid Cesare Casadei situation

Published 10 hours ago

Leicester City have been left short in terms of their midfield ranks after Cesare Casadei's move back to Chelsea

 

 

Leicester City could well cause a stir in Midlands football as the Championship transfer window continues to tick down to the deadline in the coming weeks.

The Foxes haven't signed anyone of note in the current window, but they have been left stunned by Chelsea's decision to recall Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei to the club amid their own injury woes at Stamford Bridge - and it's left Enzo Maresca short in the centre of the park as the Foxes aim to shake off their form of the last two weeks in a bid to continue their title run.

Links have been made with various players across the leagues, but there has been another star linked in recent days - in Coventry City's Callum O'Hare.

Callum O'Hare transfer latest

 

According to The Athletic, O'Hare has emerged as an option amid Casadei being recalled to west London.

Whilst the Italian only featured in eight league games for the Foxes, his presence was massively felt in the east Midlands and with backup needed ahead of a challenging final run to the league title, Enzo Maresca will need another midfielder in - or maybe even two given that the club were already chasing Stefano Sensi from Inter Milan.

The report states that Sensi has given the green light over a move to the King Power Stadium if he wishes to make the move to the Championship leaders, though O'Hare is also listed as a potential target and, having scored twice against Leicester just over a week ago, the midfielder will be known by most of Leicester's fan base as he downed them late into the game at the CBS Arena.

It's the first link away from the club that O'Hare has had for quite some time, with rumours persisting in the summer of 2022 over a potential move to Burnley, though the Sky Blues would not sanction a sale and Clarets manager Vincent Kompany failed to land his man.

But with six months left on his contract, there are teams who could pick the midfielder up on the cheap - and with Leicester in a very preferable position in the current window due to their league position, it could be a deal worth keeping an eye on.

Callum O'Hare's potential Leicester competition

Should O'Hare move to Leicester City in the coming weeks with his contract set to expire at the end of June, he'd likely find it tougher to cement a first-team place than he has at the CBS Arena.

Leicester currently boast Harry Winks, Hamza Choudhury, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Wilfred Ndidi and Dennis Praet as central midfield options - and whilst Ndidi is out of action with injury and Praet isn’t thought to be in Maresca’s plans given he’s featured in just three games following an injury early in the season, they represent strong choices in the engine room.
 

Choudhury and Winks have been acting as a double-pivot recently, with Dewsbury-Hall selected much further up the pitch; and whilst O'Hare is a strong attacking player to have in their ranks, he won't find starting as easy as he does on the other side of the Midlands.

 

Add a potential move for Sensi into that equation, and the only way O'Hare is guaranteed minutes may well rely on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; the midfielder is capable of playing deeper and if he's either needed in the pivot or injured, O'Hare would be a nailed on starter.

Don't really know anything about him apart from his two goals against us.

 

Would he fit into our system and would he be an asset in the PL?

Regular Championship watchers rate him very highly as one of the best in the league. There's similarities of when we took Madders from Norwich.

How much? How does that fit into FFP and selling before we can buy mantra. Pure idol speculation. 

His contract is up in the summer so should be peanuts but Cov are unlikely to want to sell to us so I think its BS.

Made up click / rage bait with no source or credibility. It's just looking for engagement and shares. 

 

If we can barely scrape together the pocket change to get Sensi, we aren't going to buy O'Hare who Coventry would want the world for.

Leicester City make move to beat West Ham to Callum O’Hare deal – sources


Thu 2 May 2024 16:00, UK
Leicester City have registered their interest in signing Coventry City ace Callum O’Hare, sources have told Football Insider.

The 26-year-old will be available on a free transfer this summer, with his Sky Blues contract expiring in June.

Sources told Football Insider on Tuesday (30 April) that the attacker has told his current club that he will leave in the summer transfer window. Aston Villa, West Ham and Southampton are all interested in signing the player ahead of the new season.

Now, Leicester are pushing hard to land a player who is eager to prove himself in the Premier League.

O’Hare has registered 10 goals and four assists in all competitions this season, helping Coventry reach the FA Cup semi-finals.

Leicester City join chase for Championship star
The former Villa attacker scored four goals in this season’s tournament, including one in the semi-final defeat to Man United.


He has also scored six Championship goals, where Coventry are currently aiming to achieve a top-10 finish, with the club sitting in ninth place with one match left to play.

It remains to be seen who will win the race for O’Hare, but a Premier League place is likely given the interest from the Foxes, Villa and the Hammers.

Southampton meanwhile could return to the top flight next season having secured a play-off spot, with the Saints currently fourth in the Championship table.


Leicester could lose a star of their own this summer, with sources telling Football Insider last month that Tottenham will go head-to-head with Brighton and Brentford in the race for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

I can’t say that I’m that excited about O’Hare but if on a modest wage, there are worse squad signings.

 

I can’t shake that he was kept out of Coventry’s starting 11 for Kasey Palmer.

you always feel underwhelmed by these but probably one that actually works out really well. More chance of him being a success than a 30m signing from france or italy, so why not

Seems to me to be a waste of a squad place, tbh. 
 

Genuine question: What is his best attribute? Is he a grafter?

i’d say he’s a similar player to kdh
