The three Leicester City players that potentially save the club millions of pounds

These three players will ensure that the club will not have to pay millions of dollars in the future to fill their roles.

Leicester City are beginning to bring in some really potential young players.

For many years, the Foxes have had some veterans in their lineup. Jamie Vardy and Wilfried Ndidi have been at the club for many years and are rarely left out of the starting XI.

 

However, after their relegation to the Championship, the club has begun to place a greater emphasis on their younger players. Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, for example, has been fantastic for the team since taking on greater responsibilities this season.

Despite his age, a few players who aren’t quite as experienced as the midfielder are starting to succeed.

This trio is all under the age of 21, yet their promising play could wind up saving their team a small sum.

Cannon, Tom  NO.1

It’s unusual for one of these lists, which discuss how clubs may save money, to begin with a player signed this summer. Leicester signed the Irish forward on the last day of the transfer window from Everton.

Last season, the 20-year-old was on loan at Preston North End. For about half of the season, he was still an adolescent. Despite this, he scored eight goals in 20 games for the club. At that age, scoring at that rate is quite outstanding.

According to SofaScore, the Foxes only paid £7.5 million for him. That could be a steal for a striker who has shown he can score every other game and is a very intriguing future.

Wanya Marcal-Madivadua No. 2

The first player on this list is a Portuguese midfielder who came through the club’s academy system. He only joined the Leicester first squad this summer, but he’s already made an impact.

In his two Championship outings this season, the natural central midfielder has been put on the right side of the pitch. In four games, he’s played slightly over 140 minutes.Wanya Marcal-Madivadua of Leicester City celebrates after scoring to...  News Photo - Getty Images

McAteer, Kasey

McAteer, the oldest of the three, is 21 years old. Before breaking into his team’s first squad, the winger had some EFL experience. Last season, he was a League Two player for AFC Wimbledon.

During his tenure there, he wasn’t particularly spectacular. But the same cannot be true of his start to life in the Championship. He has two goals in three games, with an xG of 0.73 and a conversion rate of little under 30%.
