Leicester: Foxes now scouting Enzo Le Fee
Leicester City are scouting Lorient midfielder Enzo Le Fee ahead of a potential move in 2023, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Le Fee profiled
The Frenchman worked his way up through the ranks at the Stade du Moustoir and has now cemented himself a starting place under Regis Le Bris, having been a standout performer for Les Merlus this season.
Despite still having nearly two years remaining on his current contract, the 22-year-old has been attracting interest from potential suitors across the English Channel, and there are four clubs who want to bring him to the Premier League.
The Latest: Leicester eyeing Le Fee
According to 90min, Leicester are joined by Newcastle, West Ham and Fulham in having ‘scouted’ Le Fee this season, with the English quartet following him ‘closely’.
Lorient are reportedly ready to ‘open talks’ regarding fresh terms with the 22-year-old amid this interest, although it’s stated that they will ‘find it difficult’ to keep hold of him.
The Verdict: Tielemans replacement
King Power Stadium favourite Youri Tielemans could be set to leave next summer following the expiry of his contract and amid reported interest from Newcastle. If he does move on, then Le Fee would be a perfect long-term replacement.
Dubbed ‘incredible’ by talent scout Jacek Kulig, the maestro is a creative playmaker just like the Belgian, having clocked up two goals and two assists this term, along with averaging 2.8 key passes per league game (WhoScored).
Leicester fans: Tielemans or Le Fee?

Le Fee
That figure is slightly higher than James Maddison’s squad-leading average of 2.5 per game at Leicester (WhoScored).
Brendan Rodgers would also be receiving a versatile operator, with Le Fee having played as a winger as well, so there’s no reason as to why this wouldn’t be a match made in heaven.
