Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester at the end of the season. This will of course start a debate about who should replace him. Leicester will certainly be looking in the market for a new man up front.
Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew are the two first team striker alternatives under contract at the club. Will these two provide enough striking power to get into a good promotion run?
We have earlier mentioned Chuba Akpom as one to approach. He is one of many players who could become a target. However, he is just part of a list of potential signings.
Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew are the two to call on at this point. If the club is really looking for any players inside the camp, to fill the gap of JV9. So will they be good enough for the job?
Championship level gives you more time on the ball as everything is slower. Jordan Ayew has not played much in a top forward position. He is more of a flank man or the player just behind the top forward. Patson Daka is neither a top forward. He is a link up player and as some might remember him playing alongside Erling Haaland at RB Salzburg. Daka’s role at Leicester has never been defined, and he has had adaptable problems from day one.

Leicester also have Nathan Opoku back at the club. He showed during his time with OH Leuven he could cope with a Belgian top flight challenge. This is the current strikers at the club. If Leicester do have money they should definately look for someone like Chuba Akpom to lead the line.
Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew looks to be part of the Leicester squad next season. Both having years left on their contract and on salaries few others would be offering. Would be a surprise if Ayew (33) left. Daka (26) would trigger a transfer fee, but still doubts about him being sold.
