Kelechi Iheanacho is one of a number of different ex Leicester players to be out of contract at the end of the season. He scored a vital winner for Celtic in their last outing vs. Motherwell. He is on a short term deal at Celtic Park and in his future is far from settled.
Their manager and prevously at Leicester, Martin O’Neill, has made a astonishing comeback in football management with Celtic this season. He is on the brink of securing a new league title with a win in the last game vs. Hearts enough to achieve that. He has also taken Celtic to the Scottish FA Cup final, facing Dunfirmline. His contract is up, and available for whatever comes next.
Jeffrey Schlupp is a free agent after leaving Norwich and has not been offered a new deal at Carrow Road. We talked up a potential return to Leicester next season.
We all believe that life at Leicester is over for a large group of players after last season. Jamaal Lascelles, Patson Daka, Jordan Ayew, Ricardo Pereira, Asmir Begovic and Marcal Madivadua, could all have played their last game for Leicester, but as we know, nothing certain as nothing settled at this moment.
🚨 Norwich City have confirmed that Shane Duffy, Emiliano Marcondes, Tony Springett, Jeffrey Schlupp and Dan Barden will all leave the club at the end of their contracts this summer.
