In Austria, Leicester City don carry their squad go for pre-season tour wey plenty people dey watch. E be like say dem carry 32 players go, but some surprise players no dey among dem. Players like Victor Kristiansen, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Harry Souttar no dey follow dem. Wetin dey happen? (Some players dey sneak enter bus like say na Ninja squad).
Conor Coady, Wilfred Ndidi, and Bilal El Khannouss bin get people dey wonder if dem go fit leave, but e still dey look like dem go stay for now. Coady don already link up with some clubs, but Leicester don already sign two central defenders – Emmanuel Fernandez from Peterborough wey dem buy for €2.90m and Nasser Djiga wey dey come in on loan from Nottingham Forest. Na so matter be, Coady movement no too dey likely at this point.
Victor Kristiansen don gree sidon collect injury for pre-season friendly against OH Leuven, so him dey out for a while. Michael Golding too no show up today, e fit get injury issues. (Na wetin happen when you no fit travel with your team padi, you go just dey house dey watch match for TV).
Tomorrow, Leicester go face ZTE for their first pre-season friendly for Zalaegerszeg, Hungary. Na im be di time we go see how dem go line up and wetin dey happen. Mads Hermansen dey among the goalkeepers but people dey talk say him go waka come out. The choice of goalkeeper tomorrow go show who go fit start dey manage the goalie position. (Wetin dey happen? Na small small friendship drama inside football).
Hamza Choudhury and the new manager Marti Cifuentes don dey gists about wetin dem notice for Austria. Dem dey ready to show wetin dem fit do under di new manager. Na so e be, transfers dey hot now, dem expect few comot and enter before di season start. For Cifuentes, e know wetin players go fit enter to push Leicester go promotion.
Na so Leicester pre-season tour squad bi. Goalkeepers be: Mads Hermansen, Jakub Stolarczyk, Stevie Bausor, Jake Donohue. Defenders: James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, Woyo Coulibaly, Luke Thomas, Jayden Joseph, Bade Aluko, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Caleb Okoli, Conor Coady, Ben Nelson. Midfielders: Hamza Choudhury, Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumare, Wilfred Ndidi, Oliver Skipp, Bilal El Khannouss, Will Alves, Louis Page. Forwards: Stephy Mavididi, Abdul Fatawu, Kasey McAteer, Wanya Marcal, Jake Evans, Jeremy Monga, Patson Daka, Jordan Ayew, Silko Thomas.
A true Naija no dey negative, but e good make we reflect on wetin dey happen for Leicester. E no be lie when dem talk say Leicester don face big struggles, especially for di transfer market. From Danny Ward to Ade Akinbiyi, some players wen get high hopes no fit perform. Dem don try with other managers, but wetin happen? (Every time dem make big buys, na wah be di result).
Na so far, Marti Cifuentes don start him journey with Leicester team o. Bilal El Khannouss and Wilfred Ndidi dey among di players wen fly go Austria, despite say people dey talk say dem fit leave. Wetin be di situation for Bilal? Him fit no go for less than £25 million now. Wilfred Ndidi appear to dey settle for Leicester sha. After all di wahala wey happen with club’s sponsorship challenge, dem no fit launch new kit yet. E be like say dem dey wait for everything to click before dem show dem jerseys (We dey wait to see how di kit go fit look).
Na wah o! Leicester dey get serious issues as dem dey prepare for di season, but dem get plenty players wey dey ready to shine under di new management. No points deduction and no transfer embargo go make dem ready well for di opener against Sheffield Wednesday. As dem dey prepare, we dey hopeful say Leicester fit return to better form dis season.
