Leicester City is poised for a potential tussle to secure the services of Vitesse Arnhem winger Million Manhoef, according to a report from TEAMtalk, indicating that a sum of £3m might suffice to bring him to the King Power Stadium.

During the early stages of the January transfer window, Leicester City has been linked with several potential new recruits. One standout target, particularly toward the end of December, has been Dutch winger Manhoef.

The Sun previously highlighted that not only Leicester City but also Rangers and Preston North End were vying for the winger’s signature. Manhoef, known for his contributions primarily from the right flank, has delivered an impressive record of four goals in 15 appearances for Eredivisie side Vitesse this season. Moreover, he garnered attention with an impressive tally of nine goals and five assists in the 2022/23 campaign.

The latest reports from TEAMtalk echo the interests, so Leicester City’s pursuit of Manhoef is reaffirmed. It’s suggested that a seemingly modest sum of £3m could tempt Vitesse to part ways with him, especially since the Dutch club is reportedly facing financial turmoil, making Manhoef one of the potential ‘best bargains’ of the January transfer window.

While competition from Rangers signifies the player’s allure, the prospect of securing a talented player at a reasonable cost should drive Leicester City to avidly pursue this deal. Despite a slightly less striking form this season, his overall record of 16 goals and 14 assists in 84 appearances for Vitesse underlines his prowess in a competitive league. Additionally, his regular involvement with the Netherlands at the youth level demonstrates his potential.

This potential acquisition could represent a shrewd move for Leicester City, further solidifying their position in the Championship. At just 22, Manhoef is poised for his prime years, making him a valuable long-term investment for the club. All signs indicate that a deal could materialize during this winter transfer window, presenting an exciting opportunity for Leicester City to bolster their squad with a promising talent like Manhoef.
