Leicester weigh futures of 11 loanees as returns and exits loom | OneFootball

Leicester City are shaping next season’s squad, assessing 11 loanees for recalls or exits. According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, choices will weigh departures and promotions.

Bilal El Khannouss has played his final City game, his Stuttgart loan was set to turn permanent this summer and the trigger is believed met. Wout Faes also appears finished, Monaco have a buy option and an exit seems likely with a year left.

Woyo Coulibaly looks unlikely to return, especially with teenager Bade Aluko expected to feature more next term.

Sammy Braybrooke looks almost certain to be in the squad after outclassing League Two with Newport and Chesterfield. Jake Evans, 17, will definitely be involved, his pace and intent standing out for Northampton in a struggling team.

Will Alves scored with his first touch for Huddersfield, then was injured. As he returned and began to impress again, Lee Grant, who signed him, was sacked.

Nathan Opoku has a new contract, but it would still be a surprise if that meant first-team involvement next season.

Henry Cartwright looks worth a pre-season look after 34 appearances at Falkirk in his first senior spell.

Left-footed centre-back Tom Wilson-Brown has played plenty at Swindon. Though out of contract this summer, his form suggests he merits a chance to prove himself at City.

Jayden Joseph impressed last pre-season, so it feels like he deserves another chance to show progress this summer.

Chris Popov is with Morecambe, and while a non-league loan often signals an imminent exit, his record may challenge that.
