‘Excellent’ £25m player now looks foolish for rejecting Leicester City transfer after latest update
Leicester City were unsuccessful in their pursuits of a number of transfer targets this summer as Steve Cooper looked to get his squad ready for the Premier League.
Steve Cooper did see Leicester City spend big to sign him Oliver Skipp and Bilal El Khannouss, whilst budget deals for Jordan Ayew and Bobby De Cordova-Reid were also completed.
However, it was not until Deadline Day that Leicester finally signed a striker as moves for Santiago Gimenez, Adam Hlozek and Fotis Ioannidis all fell through before Odsonne Edouard joined on loan.
One of the targets that dominated the early stages of the transfer window was winger Matias Soule who eventually decided to join Roma from Juventus in a £25 million deal.
Matias Soule on reason he rejected Leicester City this summer
Soule impressed on loan at Frosinone last season, where manager Eusebio Di Francesco claimed he “doesn’t lack qualities and has excellent dribbling“.
With that in mind, when it became clear Juventus would look to sell this summer it prompted a scramble for the Argentine’s signature.
