StanSP Posted 22 April 2014 Share Posted 22 April 2014 I swear we've been linked with him before. And since when was Konch leaving at the end of the season?! Leicester City are interested in signing Lyon’s promising defender Samuel Umtiti. Umtiti, a left back, is seen as an ideal replacement for Paul Konchesky, who is reportedly leaving the club this season. The France Under-21 international has recently attracted the interest of Newcastle United. Leicester are known to have a good recruitment network in France, as proved with the inspired signings of Riyad Mahrez and Anthony Knockaert, the latter of whom was courted by Arsenal and Southampton last year. On top of that, City boss Nigel Pearson has previously said that the public “probably won’t know the names of half our transfer targetsâ€, and Samuel Umtiti is hardly a household name. Umtiti, 20, would reportedly welcome a move to the Premier League, and with the interest of The Foxes it seems perfectly possible that such a move could materialise this summer.

adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 22 April 2014 Author Share Posted 22 April 2014 As much as I do like the Konch , I just think the prem will be to tough for him , I'd be happy if he stayed as he could mentor the yongsters coming through the ranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake SH Posted 22 April 2014 Share Posted 22 April 2014 Umtiti take him in a heartbeat, fits the build to, young hungry and lots of potential. Col you are right he can so he is pretty versatile. Left back or Left Centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 22 April 2014 Share Posted 22 April 2014 Left back or Left Centre back. Exactly what I called we would need, someone who is decent in both those positions would be perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmayne7 Posted 22 April 2014 Share Posted 22 April 2014 I think? Umtiti can play left centre back too. Yeah he can which like Babs says, is ideal really. Important to have versatile players in the prem and certainly if said players are relatively inexperienced. Although 60 odd top flight, European and Youth internationals is good for a 20 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkon84 Posted 22 April 2014 Share Posted 22 April 2014 This kid is far too good and if he was going to move, it would be to a far larger team than us. He's been watched and rated by Europes top clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
