Vardy’s replacement settled, Leicester to be boosted by promising goalscorer Daka

Leicester have made their first signing of the summer. The English side has agreed with Salzburg on the arrival of Patson Daka. The transfer fee is estimated at £23 million. The transfer will be officially announced within the next week.

Point forward. Leicester’s Achilles heel. Not because of a lack of quality as much as a lack of strikers.

For several years, the team has had to rely solely on goalscorer Vardy. However, he is getting older and at 34 years of age can’t play as many games as he used to.

The additions had to come. And in this transfer window, it finally came. Last season’s fifth-placed team agreed to transfer cannonballer Dacka to Salzburg.

Teams like Chelsea and Liverpool were also interested in him, but his services were eventually acquired by Leicester. The talented striker will cost the club around £23 million and will sign a long-term contract.

The African striker has built a formidable reputation in the Austrian champion’s jersey. During his four-year engagement, he scored 54 goals in just 82 matches. He is considered one of the biggest talents in Europe and has great potential.

For the price, he’s an extreme bargain for Leicester. The new acquisition can form a very dangerous attacking trio along with Vardy and Iheanacho.
