The latest from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano as Chelsea eye Leicester City

Foxes of Leicester looks at the latest Leicester City news and hearsay. It includes the latest report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Italian covers Chelsea’s admiration for his compatriot and Foxes Championship mastermind Enzo Maresca. The Blues have unceremoniously and abruptly sacked their own manager, Mauricio Pochettino, after a relatively successful season, albeit a disappointing one for some discerning CFC fans.

Meanwhile, FoL also take a look at the claim that the East Midlands side are battling relegated Luton Town for Antwerp midfielder Pierre Dwomoh. Is he worth an investment?

If the rumors are to be believed, Leicester are looking for a midfield operator. If other reports are correct, the Foxes are willing to sell one or two of their most valuable assets. The last update certainly didn’t impress the Blue Army, but there are profit and durability rules to satisfy. Let’s hope it’s not tenacious but skilful footballer Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall leaving the King Power.

Dennis Praet wasted no time in confirming his departure from Filbert Way. And who can blame him after a mixed spell with LCFC?! There was always a player there but he was terribly unlucky with injuries and managers. That exit means there is a place in the team.

Can Pierre Dwomoh be the man to fill City’s void? Well, the 19-year-old certainly looks confident from the small amount of footage we’ve seen of him. His confidence as a number 8 is intriguing; whether the talent would translate to the Premier League via the Jupiler Pro League is another question.

This possible acquisition continues Leicester’s long and modern history of signing and scouting Belgians. Of course, Dwomoh can also play as a more attacking option, which suits Enzo Maresca’s mentality of getting midfielders into opponents’ penalty areas.

Luton also follows Dwomoh. City therefore need to pay the €3 million promptly if they really want the Belgium Under-17 star.

West London owners and sporting directors have discussed Maresca’s appointment. The former Manchester City manager has an £8m release clause, says Romano.

Gianluca Di Marzio suggests the 44-year-old is at the top of the manager’s wish list at Stamford Bridge. This may be an outgoing campaign for Maresca if he stays at Leicester. However, a call from Chelsea may be too hard to turn down the former West Bromwich Albion man.
