OH Leuven striker Thomas Henry has admitted that he ‘dreams’ of taking a big step up the footballing ladder with Leicester City one potential destination, while speaking to Sport/Foot.
So far, it’s been a bit of a ‘one-way relationship’ between the Foxes and their Belgium-based sister club.
Kamal Sowah, Daniel Iversen and Josh Eppiah are all on loan at Leuven from the 2016 Premier League champions.
But, as of yet, no one has gone in the other direction.
Henry may be hoping to change that, however, after scoring 16 times last season and starting the new campaign with five goals in ten matches.
“Leicester are very big – but we all dream of playing for a big club one day,” explains the 6ft 4ins Frenchman.
“Of course I want to (go to a bigger team). I’m happy (at Leuven) but why not dream of going higher?”
Henry has only played in France and Belgium but, speaking to Sport/Foot, he admits that he would happy try his hand in another couple of countries should the opportunity arise.
The temptation may be to assume that the late-blooming Henry has missed the boat at the age of 26 but this is Leicester we’re talking about.
After all, he is just one year older than a certain Jamie Vardy was when he swapped non-league Fleetwood Town for the King Power back in 2012.
And that turned out alright.
