Today (Tuesday, October 7), we’re taking a closer look at the Leicester City squad in all its splendour. In all honesty, our aim is to evaluate the potential and reported valuation of the entire team.
This way, we can understand what LCFC are working with overall, and whether the figures attached to the Foxes stack up positively against their nearest English Football League Championship contenders.
By considering that aspect, we can also compare the King Power side with some of the lower-ranked Premier League clubs. Doing so will help gauge how the Leicester team might have theoretically fared in the top tier this season.
Meanwhile, star winger Abdul Fatawu has seen his market value surge — if any Premier League or top-five European clubs are currently eyeing a move for him. All will be revealed shortly. Let’s dive straight in and examine the worth of City’s squad as the Ghanaian talent continues to make a name for himself.
Abdul Fatawu’s updated Foxes valuation according to TransferMarkt:
Fatawu is a genuine Championship standout. If he hadn’t suffered such a long-term injury last season, he probably would have lit up the Premier League by now!
I don’t often make bold forecasts, but the 21-year-old could genuinely reach the elite level. He’s now reportedly valued at up to €18 million.
Leicester City squad market valuation
Evaluated from a total of 28 players, City’s combined squad value stands at an impressive €163.05 million — well above the division’s average.
“Another big riser is Leicester winger Fatawu, who has started the season as a true menace to defenses and looks like he will be a key player for the Foxes in their quest to return straight back to the top flight. He will need to start adding better numbers to his game, but his value increases by +€7m to a new figure of €18m.” – [TransferMarkt]
By comparison, Premier League newcomers Leeds United are valued at around €296.30 million. So, if the East Midlands side do achieve promotion next year, it’s clear that significant investment will be needed — Profit and Sustainability rules permitting, of course.
