Because they aren’t using him either way. He’s not even getting in their U23s regularly, so best to have him at least playing games at some form of level rather than sat around the place doing nothing. I imagine he will play at some point for our U23s. 

What is this under 23's you speak of

BELIEVE me THIS lad will be our best striker!! I’ve never heard of him prior to the move nor seen him play but doesn’t really have any competition

This is what my Chelsea supporting mate said:

 

 

came in with a lot of social media hype a couple of years ago, has shown flashes but very raw and has been injured a lot. definitely got a lot of talent so interested to see how he gets on but doesn't really feel like leicester is the perfect spot to chuck a lad with no senior experience into at the moment

 

 

Hopefully hes just one of those lads who thrives under pressure.... Injury prone is not what we need right now though

That would explain why he's not got any academy/dev appearance data for last season.

 

Nothing I'm reading suggests this guy is going to do anything at Championship level, i'm so intrigued to see what we've seen/heard about that lad that's made us pin our hopes on him haha.

 

I do like the excitement of a complete unknown, but I'm mentally prepared to be disappointed and underwhelmed

Can’t fault the lads confidence declaring about scoring goals! Hopefully he delivers what he says.

I have kept quiet on all of this for a long time, but now is the time to say it: 

our club is broken from top to bottom and will remain so under the current ownership and leadership. I was sat near the Director’s Box on Saturday and a bloke  shouted to Top that he should be ashamed of what he has done to his father’s legacy. Top’s reaction was to put his hands in the air, take a picture of the guy and had him removed. 
In that moment, I knew we are ****ed for now and the future. 
Pray for change

And Richards was the bloke?

[Long Eaton Fox]

Maybe a deal has been done to get him in now on loan and sign permanently in the summer into our  development squad. We have no big cfs in it. Cannot see him starting soon. Not ready 

[Lambert09]

Don’t be expecting him to replace ayew guys

Yep just seen this myself. Its so painful watching Ayew. If this guy isnt up to starting then we need to be starting Daka. At least Daka runs and presses

The problem with Daka and Ayew is it's basically just 2 different flavours of "How would you like our attacks to break down?" 

 

Ayew  = either falling over, drawing a foul, coming too deep (without pace to rejoin attack) or holding onto it for too long

Daka = falling over or terrible first touch which kills the attack before it starts

 

And we don't really have the creativity in the middle to be threading balls into Daka, nor the running/graft to bomb into the box and most teams in this league don't leave space at the back either. 

[Ric Flair]

So we didn't get a striker in then, absolutely disgraceful. Let's hope the new manager has a different view to him when he arrives, Ayew should never play for our club again and Daka's done here.

[LVFox]

Surprised to see we see him more as a winger, didn’t feel we needed competition there unless Abdul could still move to Saudi?

 

could we play BDCR up top?

[LCFCCKEANO]

Maybe we are going to sign an actual striker in free agency 😂

“Bare goals man just bare goals”

Does this mean we should expect to see him drinking his own piss and spending his time surviving the wilderness?

A lot of the Chelsea academy clips had him in that position.

That’s what I’d prefer out of the options we have.

Whilst I agree...he won't and we all know that!

I literally said this...Ayew was always gonna start up top because this nightmare wont ever end until that c**t leaves...

[FoxinNotts]

'Out wide' 'come on' 

[fox_favourite]

But he will score bare goals!

This will be our formation next season at this rate, League One won't know what hit it.

So behind our best player. Great stuff.  Remarkable.
