Summer addition Harry Winks is one player who has continued to impress for Leicester.

standings.

The 27-year-old joined Leicester City from Tottenham Hotspur and has appeared in every Championship game this season, with his effort against Stoke City being another standout.

Jordan Blackwell of Leicestershire Live evaluated Winks’ performance as an 8/10, writing on the midfielder:

“This was another of those games where he looked far too good for the Championship.” He scarcely mishandled a ball, played it faster than everyone else, and when the game opened up in the second half, he carried it brilliantly.”

Winks was one of several new players to join the King Power in the summer, including Tom Cannon, Conor Coady, Stephy Mavididi, and Mads Hermansen, though Winks was the most costly signing.

Leicester City marching on

Many people predicted that Leicester will do well this season. But few expected them to be this impressive.

They’re displaying a lot of quality and excitement under Maresca, who has really energised this team despite their relegation from the Premier League last season.

Winks has been a true leader for the Foxes, but Maresca appears to be getting the best out of everyone in both attack and defense, with Leicester scoring frequently and allowing seldom.

Later this month, the Foxes return to Championship action against an in-form Swansea City team.
