A Leicester City defender has somewhat unexpectedly been included on the unwanted roster at King Power Stadium. Why is this player anticipated to be sold this summer?
Which Foxes are departing?
One or two City stars will likely exit the club during the offseason. That’s if teams like West Ham United, Manchester United, Arsenal, or even Everton take the plunge and offer a fair price for exceptional players such as Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss.
In addition to possible star sales, a few peripheral Foxes are expected to depart as well. And defenders appear to be primarily among them, that’s if we rely on the reporting of media outlets and journalists’ apparent sources.
First of all, Jannik Vestergaard might finally leave. Removing his wages from the books would be ideal for the Filbert Way squad. Alongside the former Southampton player, seasoned overpaid center back Conor Coady may also exit.
Both potential departures are strongly supported by the majority of fans, as I’ve observed. However, Coady’s move to Rangers may be off now. And Vestergaard did recently pledge himself to LCFC verbally.
The similarly disappointing and inconsistent Victor Kristiansen is another linked with a new environment. Again, a permanent transfer is preferable to a second loan here.
Surely no one in the Blue Army would weep if fellow full back James Justin were permitted to switch clubs. He’s never realized his high potential and truly let the team down last season.
Now a somewhat surprising name has been added to the list. That individual is Woyo Coulibaly. But why was it a bit unexpected to see the Gonesse, France-born right back among perceived LCFC undesirables?
Leicester City full back Woyo Coulibaly may leave this summer – report
Coulibaly should have been granted more chances at Leicester. He’s only been here a brief time. So City do not even know precisely what he might contribute yet. Nevertheless, this suggestion has emerged:
“The lack of an appearance for Woyo Coulibaly does not bode well for the full-back. It may be that his City career ends this summer, just over six months on from his January arrival.”
