The Foxes’ return to the Premier League may coincide with the departure of club legend Jamie Vardy, thus Leicester City is looking for a replacement.
According to GIVEMESPORT, Leicester City is interested in signing Sammie Szmodics from Blackburn Rovers, recognizing his brilliance as the Championship’s most recent Golden Boot winner.
Despite playing for a side in relegation trouble, Szmodics shined, scoring 27 goals in the Championship this season, demonstrating his flexibility as an attacking midfielder and centre-forward.
This move is similar to how former Coventry player Viktor Gyokeres has thrived in Europe this season after showing himself in the Championship, highlighting the ability of true goal scorers to excel at higher levels.
That being said, Szmodics, despite his impressive campaign, he has far from been a natural goalscorer throughout his career.
Sammie Szmodics has clearly had a great season, but it’s worth mentioning that this is his first double-figure season in the Championship, having reached such heights in League One only once before.
While this does not necessarily imply a one-season wonder, it does represent a noteworthy anomaly in his career trajectory.
Furthermore, his assist contribution has not been particularly significant, implying that, while he has showed glimpses of brilliance, consistency in both goal scoring and playmaking may require further growth and analysis.
