Andrej Kramaric played just 15 Premier League games for Leicester City but he’s shining in the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim now.
Leicester City wrote off Andrej Kramatic fairly quickly.
Despite interest from Premier League giants Chelsea, The Foxes won the race to sign the rising star of Croatian football in January 2015, pulling off a real coup when they landed the 23-year-old Rijeka striker according to The Guardian.
But Kramaric’s time in England is best left forgotten. He was handed just 15 Premier League appearances, finding the net twice, and found himself on loan at Hoffenheim while Leicester were celebrating the Premier League title.
Few were shocked when Leicester cut ties with Kramaric in 2016, selling him to the Bundesliga outfit for a fee of £9.5 million, as reported by Transfermarkt.
And Kramaric has since spent the last three years showing Leicester where they went wrong. After 51 goals in his first two seasons at Hoffenheim, the prolific centre-forward is in the form of his life right now.
He has hit the target 20 times in all competitions this season, including 10 in 2019 alone. These days, Kramaric is firmly established as one of the Bundesliga’s elite talents while Kelechi Iheanacho, Shinji Okazaki and co toil in front of goal at his former club.
Speaking to the Leicester Mercury, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed that he is keen to sign a new striker this summer. He must be wishing Leicester were a little more patient with Kramaric.
