Premier League outfit Leicester City are reportedly scouring the market with Adnan Januzaj, Thorgan Hazard and Quincy Promes all potential options.
How do you replace a man as influential as Riyad Mahrez? Well, it seems that Leicester City have a few ideas.
The 2016 PFA Player of the Year finally sealed a protracted move to Manchester City at the start of the summer, bagging the Foxes £60 million. But with just one week to go before the transfer window shuts, Leicester still haven’t found a replacement for their star man.
Though that could soon change.
According to The Mail, Leicester have made an enquiry about signing Adnan Januzaj from Real Sociedad. The former Manchester United wonderkid moved to Spain last summer for £8 million and shone in ‘the Mahrez role’, cutting in from the left onto his right foot.
This is exactly how he scored that wonderful winner against England for Belgium in the World Cup group-stages.
France Football report that Leicester are also interested in Lille’s rapid Ivory Coast international Nicolas Pepe while another Ligue 1 winger, Rachid Ghezzal of Monaco, is also under consideration.
As are Borussia Monchengladbach’s Thorgan Hazard, the brother of Chelsea star Eden, and Spartak Moscow talisman Quincy Promes.
25-year-old Hazard Jr was excellent in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 10 goals and assisting another five. Dutch international Promes, meanwhile, was linked with a £30 million move to Southampton in January.
