Sky 17:23 LEICESTER WAIT ON EDER Our Sky colleagues in Italy have told us there is a£10million bid on the table, with the Foxes offering Eder a three-and-a-half year contract at the King Power Stadium. We understand Inter Milan are also interested in the player, although Sampdoria would prefer to sell him to Leicester rather than a Serie A rival. Eder will want to move to a club that will give him the best opportunity of making Italy's Euro 2016 squad.
Positive being that they likely wont sell to a rival, negative being that he needs to be guaranteed gametime for the euros. Unless hes being bought to play with Vardy i dont see this happening.
I think he'll stay in Italy for the best chance of making the euros, which is a shame really, seeming he has the attributes our team needs. Maybe why we are looking at Musa, will be interesting to see if either deal is completed by next Monday, we aren't known to act fast in these kind of situations, it took about a week for us to announce Amartey after Copenhagen let out that statement saying they accepted the bid.
Top of the table and still cant attract top players. We will end up with Danny Graham at this rate. lol
Its reasonable to suggest that we would have had a better chance with Eder if it wasn't a euro year, its not as if we are desperate for strikers that he would walk straight into the side and he needs to impress for the Italy squad. I feel we still have a good chance of Musa if we can agree a fee, also think he would want reasonable wages than what Remy or Pelle would want.
Always a good stance to take to achieve the highest possible wage/fee for the player. I'd like to see us make an effort to sign him. He's versatile, young and pretty quick with it, would suit our style of play.
Musa certainly one for the longer term unlike Pelle, and Remy, for me, just doesn't have that bit of something extra that makes you take notice.
