Leicester City have been linked with a move for the winger.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Leicester have explored the possibility of signing Real Sociedad winger Adnan Januzaj, and if Claude Puel manages to bring the Belgian to the King Power Stadium, it could turn out to be an absolute masterstroke for the Foxes.
Leicester finished last season in ninth position in the Premier League table last season and in order to make progress this time around, Puel undoubtedly needs to strengthen his attacking options.
Riyad Mahrez was sold to Manchester City last month for around £60 million, and Foxes fans will be desperate for that money to be reinvested into the playing squad.
Januzaj, 23, joined Sociedad in the summer of 2017 from Manchester United, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £9 million, and there have been signs that he is finally starting to live up to his outstanding potential.
The Belgian ace was part of Roberto Martinez’s World Cup squad in Russia, and he really impressed, despite playing just the one game, scoring a wonder goal against England in Kaliningrad.
He would add a certain level of pace and drive to Leicester’s attacking play, and he possesses the kind of ability that could make everyone at the King Power Stadium quickly forget about Mahrez.
Januzaj is similar to the Algerian in the sense that he is a left footer who likes to operate on the right wing, and if he knuckles down and works hard, he could turn out to be a superb signing for the east Midlands outfit.
The 23-year-old is valued at £13.3 million, according to Transfer Markt, and in today’s day and age that would represent excellent value for money for Leicester.
