Leicester could sign Vardy's “outstanding” successor as their first signing

Leicester City will be hoping they can re-establish themselves as a Premier League club from next season onwards after their relegation crisis was quickly rectified by returning to the second division.

Enzo Maresca is now out of the Foxes hot seat after being the mastermind behind guiding the East Midlands side back to the top, but that shouldn't completely detract from the newly promoted side, especially if Graham Potter. he replaces the Italian soon.

Named as the front man at the King Power Stadium, the ex-Chelsea boss would love the job of managing the Foxes, especially if the latest developments regarding the cancellation of the transfer deal turn out to be true.

This could see the news trade come after good news, with a new striker likely to follow Potter into the build-up.

Potter's first signing at King Power

According to a report from Italian outlet GialloRossi.net last month, Leicester City are interested in AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham this summer, with a new development that could spark the Foxes' interest even more.

Indeed, journalist Matt Law, writing for the Telegraph, also speculated on interest from the Premier League for the former Chelsea player earlier this week, with the likes of Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa all vying for his services, as his Serie A employers put a £20m price tag over his head.

What Abraham could give Leicester

It would be a risky move for the newly-promoted outfit, however, with Abraham missing eight league games last season through injury, but it would be a signing that shows Leicester have serious business after taking the Championship by storm. return to the upper plane.

Potter would also be keen on the new addition of a 26-year-old striker to bolster Leicester's form, should both faces eventually join the East Midlands outfit, with Abdul Fatawu also likely to cause trouble up front.

Fatawu – who looks to be edging closer to a permanent move to Leicester – could burst into life in the Premier League working in his inner circle alongside Abraham.

He scored seven goals in the Championship during his loan spell, three of which came in one game against Southampton in April.

So, the thought of a full-back playing alongside a passionate striker – who Leicester will need once 20-goal Jamie Vardy finally leaves – is certainly surprising.

He could be the perfect successor to Vardy if the veteran striker hangs up his boots, and a huge boost to the likes of Patson Daka waiting in the wings as the last option to lead the line.

Abraham would give Potter another option to use in his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation if he were to take over for the King Power, with the towering 6-foot-4 presence playing at the top of the organization for the last time. giving Roma line up under Daniel De Rossi.

Abraham will aim to prove he is a Premier League striker for the Foxes if the move goes through, finding himself 16 goals clear of Iheanacho's relegation, and will take his place if the former Manchester City striker is signed. now you are allowed to go free.

He has certainly proven himself to be a goalscoring machine in Serie A, with 17 goals scored in his first season on the move. Writer Henry Winter even described him as “outstanding” playing in Italy.

Abraham could be a quality player but teaming him up with Potter would be a huge boon for Leicester, especially considering he helped make Brighton a top-flight professional as a manager.
