Underdogs Leicester City who are currently leading the Premier League have put forth a tough fight, every game. The team has been a threat to other big clubs and has cautioned them to do not underestimate them.
Club hero Vardy has tasted glory and is on the headlines, everywhere. It’s been one tremendous journey for this Englishman, a tale from rags to riches. His achievements have been commendable after learning what all he has gone through. Ever since he broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record, his value has multiplied. Top clubs from several leagues have shown interest in him and want to sign the star striker. Apart from Vardy, Leicester’s unsung hero Riyad Mahrez is also acing in every fixture.
He scored a hat-trick in the game against Swansea. He’s been the lionheart of the squad, contributing immensely in all results. He doesn’t come in the limelight but continues performing top class under the shadows. The third noteworthy player of the squad has been Danny Drinkwater. All three of them have been the key factors in Leicester’s ride to the top of the table. Due to their brilliant performances, it is believed that other clubs will come hunting for them. Merson thinks it will be a battle to keep them at the King Power Stadium in January.
“Mahrez won’t be having a little career if he plays like that every week,” he said. “The problem will be January because this lad’s going to be wanted. Vardy’s going to be wanted. Drinkwater is a very good player. It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody came and bought him. There aren’t too many better centre midfield players at the moment than him.
“Ranieri played a 4-4-2 so he’s not playing in a midfield three where you get loads of people working and loads of bodies. There’s just him and Kante in the middle.”
It is but obvious that the key men are going to be a top favourite of every club. Bids are yet to come. Updates will follow.
