Leicester City are showing interest in teenage talent, James Overy following a trial with Everton recently.
There is plenty of interest, but Leicester City are one of the clubs leading the race to sign James Overy in January.
The 16-year old is a talent coming out of Australia. He is set to make his A-League debut despite his tender age.
Interest from West Ham United and Everton in his signature still exists, but the Foxes may still be hopeful of getting him.
Who is James Overy?
Overy is a right-wing back by trade and has been carted around many English clubs.
He featured for one of Everton’s youth teams last week. He has also featured for West Ham at a different time.
With that being said, Alan Nixon has suggested: “The Foxes are desperate to land him.”
Ironically the Hammers have looked at the teenager due to his performances against them, marking Jarrod Bowen in preseason.
The wingback is also being chased on the international stage. With a Scottish mother, he is available to play for Australia and Scotland.
With is being said, it appears any moving process would be eased by his family background.
Should Leicester City sign him?
Given his age and the league he plays in, there is very limited information available about him.
As a result, it is hard to know how he plays and if he would fit in at Leicester.
Although that may be the case, with so many top sides sniffing around him, he must have something very special.
He is unlikely to cost a huge fee and as a result, represents a risk-free option for Enzo Maresca and Co.
Every club wants to have the best possible standard of young players coming through the academy. With Overy, the Foxes could set a president moving forward.
