davieG Posted 27 August Posted 27 August https://www.footballinsider247.com/arsenal/transfers/sources-arsenal-and-aston-villa-register-interest-in-leicester-city-forward Sources: Arsenal and Aston Villa register interest in Leicester City forward Wayne Veysey Founder & Managing Director 27 Aug 2026, 1:10 pm Arsenal and Aston Villa have registered interest in Leicester City rising star Lorenz Hutchinson, sources have told Football Insider. The Foxes will listen to offers for the 18-year-old winger in the last week of the window as they are in financial strife after their relegation to League One. The two Premier League sides face competition from abroad, with Lazio also making an enquiry for the youngster. Even though Hutchinson has yet to make his senior debut at Leicester, he has shown great promise in their academy in recent years. Last season he netted 15 goals in 15 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, and also picked up five assists. The youngster will be out of contract next summer, which could allow clubs to strike a potential bargain this transfer window. How good is Lorenz Hutchinson? When examining his stats from the last campaign, Hutchinson is no doubt a promising young player. The attacker’s form for the Under 18s saw him called up to the Foxes’ Premier League 2 squad, where he continued to impress. According to Fotmob on 27 August, in the 12 matches he played in the division, he averaged 0.46 goals, 3.00 shots, 1.04 shots on target, 0.35 assists, 1.50 chances created and 0.23 big chances created per 90 minutes. Therefore, it is clear that if Arsenal or Aston Villa are able to harness this potential and develop him further, he could go on to become a big player in the Premier League. However, it remains to be seen if either side are able to win the race for the youngster this summer.
Lesta Legend Posted 27 August Posted 27 August He must go as he would only block the development of Bobby and Cullen, let other teams benefit from his potential. 1 1 1
fkas Posted 27 August Posted 27 August If he's not interested in signing a new contract we might have to sell to get a decent fee for him. 1

TheGoldenGod Posted 29 August Posted 29 August Yeah I cannot wait till the owner sells. Genuinely contemplating not even chucking this game on the tele today...
lanefox Posted 29 August Posted 29 August If he's good enough for Lazio he's good enough for us to be on the bench I'd rather see Hutchinson than Bob the throb on the bench 1
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 29 August Posted 29 August Disgusting selling off young players like this just to keep the lights running. Why are we not more angry about this? ALSO WE ONLY HAVE ONE ****ING RECOGNISED FIRST TEAM STRIKER AND HE’S A YOUNG LAD / NEW SIGNING FROM EASTERN EUROPE YOU ****WITS. SO WHY NOT PLAY HUTCHINSON?!
lanefox Posted 29 August Posted 29 August If played as well it would only increase his value but no let's play Bobby fing Reid upfront 1
coolhandfox Posted 29 August Posted 29 August If he unwilling to sign a new contract we don't have a lot choice. 4

Probably not signing because he can't see a pathway into the first team , he should've been on the bench for every game so far because of the lack of depth upfront

Bergen fox Posted 29 August Posted 29 August What’s the point in having a academy if the big clubs just take them away.

coolhandfox Posted 30 August Posted 30 August (edited) Real shame but can't let him leave for free in the summer. Jacobs is generally a poor source. Edited 30 August by coolhandfox

Yup, said the same with Motsi, ultimately if players don’t want to be here then see you later. Done with anyone that doesn’t want to be at this football club whether it’s pro or youth. 3
FrankieADZ Posted 30 August Posted 30 August 29 minutes ago, moore_94 said: surprised at that, but maybe hes said he wont sign a new deal or something £1mil is low but would be pure profit and sell on too time will tell if hes good enough or not
