We have two Leicester City-related updates to bring to the Blue Army supporters’ attention this Sunday morning. If you weren’t aware or your hangover is too heavy to check the score, the East Midlands club drew with West Midlands side Coventry City on Saturday afternoon.
LCFC and head coach Marti Cifuentes now hold two draws, three victories and a single defeat after the opening six fixtures of the Championship season.
So, what’s on the agenda today? First, we’ll look at a Fox’s thoughts on the Filbert Way squad’s opening to the relatively new campaign.
Midfield lynchpin Hamza Choudhury, a Leicester academy product who can also slot into defence, has been speaking to BBC Radio Leicester. How does the Bangladesh national-team representative feel the King Power outfit’s latest manager, Marti Cifuentes, has performed?
Meanwhile, as a current squad member evaluates the Foxes’ start, we’ve got more for City followers. Do you remember the wealthiest footballer ever registered in LE2? No, it wasn’t winger Riyad Mahrez.
And I’m not talking about striker Jamie Vardy either. It appears Faiq Bolkiah, who also had a brief stint at Chelsea Football Club, is set for another move. Where is the Sultan of Brunei’s nephew heading this time?
Choudhury chats City:
Choudhury thinks Leicester have begun well. He said so before drawing nil-nil at home with Coventry City.
“It is such an important time he missed, credit to him and his staff.” – [Choudhury]
The LCFC midfielder added that Cifuentes is doing a “good job,” as expected. He particularly notes this given the limited preseason preparations.
Leicester City’s richest-ever footballer getting transfer:
It seems that Indian M-League club DPMM FC are about to sign Bolkiah. Although the 27-year-old never made it as a Premier League star, he remains a seasoned journeyman:
“While not a household name, Faiq’s financial standing in the game actually outweighs those considered royalty inside the professional game. Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Lionel Messi’s bank balances all pale in comparison to Faiq’s, with the Ratchaburi FC player being the heir to a £15 billion fortune.” – [Mirror]
