Currently, Leicester City’s wide options include Stephy Mavididi, Abdul Fatawu, and new signing Bobby De Cordova-Reid. Adding Matias Soule to the squad would provide crucial depth and competition for Mavididi and Fatawu, neither of whom have Premier League experience. Despite Frosinone’s relegation last season, Soule’s experience with a struggling team could be beneficial for Leicester. The 21-year-old managed an impressive season, showcasing his potential to make a significant impact in games with his flair and excitement, qualities that could change the course of a match.

New Leicester City manager Steve Cooper is focused on building a squad capable of maintaining their Premier League status. The summer began challenging for Leicester with the departures of manager Enzo Maresca and star player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea. However, the compensation received—£10 million for Maresca and £30 million for Dewsbury-Hall—has helped the club meet the 30th June PSR deadline.

Chelsea have shown interest in signing Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer, with new manager Enzo Maresca keen to strengthen the squad. Dewsbury-Hall was instrumental in Leicester’s Championship-winning campaign, scoring 12 goals and providing 15 assists. According to The Athletic, Chelsea has contacted Leicester about a potential transfer, and Dewsbury-Hall is reportedly interested in a move to Stamford Bridge.

Maresca, who guided Leicester to Premier League promotion, appears eager to reunite with the 25-year-old midfielder, who fits his style of play for the 2024/25 season. Dewsbury-Hall’s contract with Leicester runs until 2027, so he won’t come at a modest fee. With his passing ability, work rate, and dynamism, Dewsbury-Hall would complement Chelsea’s midfield and add depth, particularly after last season’s injuries to key players.
