Leicester: Maresca could sign “top class” Casadei partner
Leicester’s busy window looks set to continue…
- Leicester City are looking towards the Premier League for another new recruit.
- The player boasts plenty of leadership qualities and would be a fine foil to Casadei.
- A move may only cost in the region of £9m.
Leicester City may have splashed a war chest of funds on summer recruits but the latest reports linking them to a “top class” central midfielder suggest their business isn’t stopping there.
Who are Leicester signing?
According to TEAMtalk, Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill is on Leicester’s radar as they aim to bolster their squad, but the Foxes face strong competition from several Premier League clubs, including Wolves, Everton and Crystal Palace.
The 27-year-old captained Burnley for much of their title-winning campaign last term, featuring 41 times, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists with his performances for the Clarets sparking interest.
With Brownhill becoming an important player in the dressing room, Vincent Kompany has expressed a strong desire to keep the midfielder but given he only has a year remaining on his current deal, Burnley either agree to terms on a new contract or cash in now to avoid losing him on a free next summer.
How good is Josh Brownhill?
After signing the highly-rated Cesare Casadei on-loan from Chelsea, Brownhill could follow suit and form a dream partnership with the Italian.
First and foremost, Casadei and Brownhill are two different types of midfielders. While the former is known for his exquisite passing range and goal-scoring ability, Brownhill’s constant pressing and all-action performances make him the perfect type of Championship midfielder.
