Leicester City to cash in Boubakary Soumare after loan from Sevilla

The Foxes have finally returned to the Premier League as Championship champions, but will still need player sales in their bid to raise funds. Even then, it looks like a points deduction awaits ahead of the season.

Some key assets may be sold as a result. However, departures for fringe players like Soumare will give the club a way to raise funds, possibly limiting the number of big stars who have to leave.

A permanent exit for the Frenchman may not raise huge funds, but even at the reported €15m option to buy, it would be a welcome boost if another side paid that amid struggling Sevilla.

What could it have been?

With Sevilla – especially in recent weeks – Soumare has shown some traits of the star man he had become with Lille. It was performances at Leicester City that caught the eye, but in the end you are left to wonder what could have been with the Foxes career.
