Leicester are seen as a candidate to land a deal with Callum Wilson. A move to Leicester would be ideal for both parties. The recent news about his contract termination at West Ham would of course be a possible reason for this speculation.

Leicester are eager to find a replacement up front. A recent short-term deal fell through recently with Michail Antonio who picked up an injury last week. He had short trial at Leicester, but with this situation no longer a candidate for Leicester.

Callum Wilson would be an ideal alternative. Leicester are said to only consider free agents and loan options in this transfer window. The former Bournemouth and Newcastle attacker fits this bill.

We do believe Leicester are hot. They are also able to give Callum Wilson a chance to cement a place up front. This allows him to be that first team alternative needed.

Several Leicester X accounts could see this as the picture to finalize a deal at Leicester. They need an attacker who actually scores goals. Jordan Ayew and Patson Daka are the two alternatives at the moment, but none of them are the ideal player for Marti Cifuentes.

This move would signal hope. It would also help fans see positives. Currently, they are losing faith. Too many of the players available to play up front are far from ideal at this time.

We have to keep our fingers crossed. Hopefully, Leicester is the next stop for Callum Wilson. He was born in Coventry and started his career with The Sky Blues.
