“Foxes Should be Extremely Wary of him, he’s MISSILE Nuno Espirito is about to use to DISMANTLE Leicester City Defense”- Leicester City warned to be CAUTIOUS of one Nottingham Forest DANGEROUS player who was the KEY weapon Nuno used in rivalling Mo Salah and Bukayo Saka
Leicester City returns to Premier League action this Friday evening against Nottingham Forest.
Steve Cooper’s team is on a strong run, having secured six points from their last two matches. The Foxes are currently 14th in the league, enjoying a six-point cushion above the relegation zone as they prepare for the match at the King Power Stadium.
Facundo Buonanotte has the chance to join a select group of Premier League players against Nottingham Forest and will need to perform at his best to help Leicester against a side that has lost just once this season.
After impressively coming off the bench to aid the comeback against Southampton, Abdul Fatawu is expected to start for Leicester.
Leicester City should be wary of one Nottingham Forest player in particular. Under Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest has played well, recording four draws and just one loss this season. Veteran forward Chris Wood has netted five times in the league, posing a significant challenge for Leicester’s defense.
However, Cooper should also be concerned about Elliot Anderson, who is currently competing with Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka in key performance metrics. Anderson is one of only three players this season to create five or more chances and complete five or more dribbles in a single match, achieving this feat against Crystal Palace.
Anderson has been versatile this season, playing as a defensive midfielder, left midfielder, and number 10. His standout performance against Crystal Palace suggests he will likely start in a similar role against Leicester, putting pressure on Leicester’s midfielders to contain him.
Leicester City has the opportunity to address past transfer misses and potentially finalize a deal for a summer target. The Foxes made nine new signings in the summer to avoid a relegation battle, with Buonanotte shining since joining on loan from Brighton.
Fans have also praised Abdul Fatawu for his strong start after returning permanently. However, some supporters were disappointed by missed opportunities to sign big names, such as Adam Hlozek, who moved to Hoffenheim, and Wilfried Zaha, whose transfer fell through.
Another target Leicester pursued was striker Mostafa Mohamed, currently with Nantes. Reports suggest Nantes is facing financial difficulties, which could make Mohamed available for transfer. The forward recently switched agents to a UK-based firm that also represents current Leicester player Caleb Okoli and former player James Maddison, which could facilitate a potential move.
Mohamed has scored 20 goals for Nantes since joining in 2023 and would provide a significant boost to Leicester’s attack. Former coach Muhsin Ertugral praised him as “very dangerous” and noted his strong presence in the penalty area.
Leicester’s forward line has struggled, with Jordan Ayew and Odsonne Edouard underperforming since their arrivals. The potential addition of Mohamed in January could significantly strengthen the squad.
