The Leicester City ace is reportedly on the verge of joining Benevento.

According to a report from respected Italian football expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Leicester are on the verge of selling Bartosz Kapustka to Serie A side Benevento, but are the Foxes giving up on the Polish attacking midfielder too soon?

The 21-year-old joined Leicester from Cracovia in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £7.5 million, but he has failed to establish himself at the King Power Stadium, making just three senior appearances.

He is still very young, though, and has plenty of potential.

Whilst he has failed to live up to expectations at the King Power Stadium, Leicester could just live to regret letting him go.

Kapustka is a wonderful talent, and a loan spell away from the Foxes at another club in England might be just what he needs to breath fire back into his stuttering career.

If he then returns to Leicester, and is still not at the level required to be a success in the Premier League, they would be faced with little option other than to sell him.

This summer is too soon to give up on the Polish star, however, and it would be in the Foxes’ best interests to keep hold of him for one more season at least.
