Leicester City will be busy in the summer transfer window and are already looking at ways to improve the squad.
Several players are likely to leave Leicester at the end of the season which will then allow Ruud van Nistelrooy to finally build a squad he wants.
One player joined the Foxes in the winter window as they secured the services of £3m right-back Woyo Coulibaly from Parma.
It was a frustrating month that has led to Leicester supporters pointing the blame at Jon Rudkin for the downward spiral.
A striker is one of the positions that will be high on the Foxes’ shopping list and it appears they may have found a teenage talent.
Leicester City and Crystal Palace send scouts to watch Franculino Gluda Dju
Strikers are hard to come by and with Jamie Vardy ageing and Patson Daka likely to be sold, new options are needed.
Youngster Jake Evans is the supposed heir to Vardy’s throne but they need someone more proven at senior level. Step forward Franculino Gluda Dju.
According to reports from Danish outlet Bold, Leicester will rival Crystal Palace for Dju’s signature.
Dju plays for Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland and isn’t the first player from the side to be linked after the Foxes were considering a £10m offer for Dario Osorio.
The 20-year-old has a great goalscoring record and has 15 goal contributions from 26 games in all competitions this season.
| Appearances | 26 |
| Goals | 10 |
| Assists | 5 |
In the 2023/24 campaign, he was also the highest-scoring teenager in Europe, scoring 17 in 33 games.
Who would Franculino Gluda Dju replace at Leicester City?
Regardless of whether or not Leicester City are in the Premier League or Championship next season, Leicester are likely to have a very different set of attacking options.
Stephy Mavididi, Jordan Ayew and Bobby De Cordova-Reid are among some of the current options whilst Kasey McAteer was wanted by Sunderland in January and could leave in the summer.
Youngster Jeremy Monga could come into the fray but for Dju, he would more than likely play down the middle as a number nine.
If it stays how it is, Leicester will have no strikers as Vardy’s contract expires in the summer. The 20-year-old would mark a new dawn at the King Power Stadium.
