Leicester City are likely to make a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Belgium international Thorgan Hazard if Brendan Rodgers can guide the Foxes into the Champions League, as reported by Eurosport.
One year on from that dramatic collapse, is history about to repeat itself at the King Power?
The nature of yesterday’s 3-2 defeat to top-four rivals West Ham United certainly raised the blood pressure of many Foxes fans. Leicester are now within touching distance of not only the Hammers but also Chelsea and a resurgent Liverpool side.
And if the Foxes fail to secure a place at Europe’s top table for a second season in a row, their hopes of luring Hazard to England may die a premature death.
Eurosport claims the former Monchengladbach speedster is a player Leicester have identified as a replacement for soon-to-leave Roma loanee Cengiz Under.
A £22 million signing in summer 2019, Hazard produced seven goals and 14 assists during a superb debut season in yellow and black.
His second year as a Dortmund player has, however, been interrupted by a series of muscle strains.
When fully fit, Thorgan is a hugely exciting attacker, a dynamic dribbler with an eye for goal – just like his older brother Eden.
It’s not difficult to imagine Hazard the younger forming a thrilling understanding with James Maddison, Youri Tielemans and the equally electrifying Harvey Barnes at the King Power.
