Leicester City has once again expressed interest in West Bromwich Albion starlet Tom Fellows, as reported in the print edition of the Daily Mail (20/1; page 9) via West Brom News. This development comes amidst Leicester’s continued activity in the transfer market, with Stefano Sensi poised to join the club from Inter Milan in a €2m deal. The departure of Cesare Casadei has prompted the pursuit of another Italian midfielder, with personal terms already agreed and finalization of the deal imminent.
Leicester’s transfer activities may be contingent on potential departures from the Midlands side before the end of the month, despite significant earnings from player sales during the summer. This consideration is not driven by financial constraints, but rather by the wealth of options available in various positions and the potential implications on their wage bill given the quality of their squad.
The Daily Mail has reported Leicester City’s renewed interest in Tom Fellows, a player for whom their interest was previously revealed last year. While Southampton was reportedly interested in him last year, it remains uncertain if they maintain their interest, as they were not mentioned in the recent report. Fellows has been prominently involved in first-team games since October, demonstrating his ability with two recent goals, drawing attention from both Everton and Leicester.
Leicester may have an advantage in pursuing Fellows due to potential financial fair play issues faced by Sean Dyche’s side, while the 20-year-old’s contract expiration this summer could render him an affordable option for both clubs.
Considering Leicester’s strong options in the wing position, Fellows’ potential addition could provide valuable depth to the squad. While the club already possesses notable wing talents, Fellows represents a talented young player with significant potential. Although he may not initially secure a regular place in the starting lineup, his arrival could bolster Leicester’s squad, with the possibility of a loan spell to further develop his talents if immediate playing time at the King Power Stadium proves limited.
