Richard Kone from Wycombe Wanderers I really like prospect of him. 18 goals in League One is very impressive in first full season there (contracted until 2026). Here's structure of a deal we could do with them:

 

Upfront Fee: £6–6.5 million

  • Purpose: Increases Wycombe's short-term liquidity and reflects Kone’s rapid rise.

  • Rationale: Signals serious intent while keeping financial risk controlled for Leicester.

Performance-Based Add-Ons: £1.5–2 million

  • Unlockable by Kone’s success at Leicester:

  • +£500k after 15 first-team appearances.
  • +£500k if Leicester achieve promotion to Premier League within 2 years.

  • +£500k if Kone scores 10 goals in a single season.

  • +£500k if he earns a senior international call-up (optional but motivational).

Sell-On Clause: 15–20% of Future Profit

  • Mechanism: If Leicester sell Kone for £25M in future, Wycombe gets 15–20% of profit above original fee (i.e. profit = £25M - £6.5M = £18.5M → ~£2.8–3.7M).

  • Why it matters: For a League One club, long-term upside is often as valuable as cash now.

Negotiation Tactics

  • Emphasize the platform: Frame Leicester as a “next-level development club” for Kone—a model Wycombe can proudly cite for future talents.

  • Show Vardy succession plan: Outline the clear path Kone has into first-team relevance.

  • Offer friendly terms: Consider paying the upfront portion in 2–3 instalments to smooth Wycombe’s cash flow and incentivize agreement.

  • Add PR value: Suggest joint press release to celebrate Wycombe's role in developing a future Premier League striker.

The structure without AI - Leicester City has added to its forward ranks after a deal was agreed with Wycombe Wanderers for the transfer of Richard Kone for an undisclosed fee.

Charlie Kelman would be worth it , he’s on loan at Leyton Orient from QPR and has scored 25 goals this season in League One/ and cup competitions, and I imagine , QPR need the money so anything like £5-7m would be worth it imo.

 

He’s only 23 so is yet to hit his prime.

I saw him at burton a few weeks ago, if I’m honest I didn’t anyone for Leyton Orient really stood out.

I want a big Australian with a mullet up top. Footballing ability is secondary.

Yes my man! Been calling for Souttar to be used up front for over two years now.

When added up, that total suggested package by ChatGPT seems excessive if Wycombe stay down, given he has 1 year left on his contract.

6ft4 kasey could do a job?

 

Though in all seriousness, I think he could. Quick, good finisher and big.

Franculino Djú from Midjtylland.

 

20 years old, blistering pace, loves to play off the shoulder and a good finisher.

 

Raw and unpolished but great potential.

Kasey is 5’11

Sargent would be a good fit in terms of playing style but I can't see us paying what Norwich would demand. Injury history also a concern.
