Leicester City boast one of the strongest squads in the Championship.
Marti Cifuentes is lucky to have a wealth of talent ranging from Abdul Fatawu to teenage prodigy Jeremy Monga.
The Foxes also parted ways with several high-profile players including Bilal El Khannouss to Stuttgart, whom he will officially join for £25m next summer.
Even with the departure of star names, there are still numerous prized assets at the King Power Stadium, though their most valuable might come as a shock.
Victor Kristiansen named Leicester City’s most valuable player:
As of September 2025, the CIES Football Observatory has unveiled a fresh ranking of every club’s most valuable player.
Within Leicester’s camp, many would have expected one of the likes of Fatawu or Harry Winks, but the honour instead belongs to Victor Kristiansen, valued between £19.9m-£22.5m.
Kristiansen arrived at the Foxes in January 2023 from Copenhagen in a transfer worth £16m but quickly found himself on the outskirts of the senior team.
Relegation to the Championship saw the left-back head to Bologna on loan before returning for the Premier League campaign, where he found difficulties.
It seems the 22-year-old is not in Cifuentes’ immediate plans and has yet to feature for Leicester this season.
Victor Kristiansen still has time to turn around Leicester City nightmare:
Both sides will acknowledge that the move has not unfolded as expected, and with the World Cup on the horizon next year, Kristiansen will be eager to do everything possible to earn a place in Denmark’s squad.
Nottingham Forest were credited with interest in Kristiansen, but no concrete bid ever arrived for the ex-Copenhagen full-back.
Fortunately, the transfer markets in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and several other nations remain open for a few more days, potentially providing a way out.
