Worries for Leicester as Derby prepare to attack to sign “good” striker.

Derby County are now preparing to sign Stephy Mavididi this summer, causing major concern for relegated Leicester City.

Derby learn Mavididi’s attack

Before the campaign began, no one expected the story that would eventually emerge. If anyone was pushing to choose a team to be relegated between Leicester and Derby, it might be the latter while the Foxes were said to be promoted.

Now, nearly 12 months later, Leicester have been relegated and the Rams finished eighth. It’s been an unusual season. Those at the King Power have been given plenty to think about, but those at Pride Park are unlikely to give them time to prove themselves – meaning one of their best players right away.

According to Sports Boom, Derby are preparing to sign Mavididi which is very difficult for Leicester. The winger is not opposed to the idea of ​​a jump to the second tier and is one of many names that could be sold amid the Foxes’ financial problems this summer.

In terms of quality, Mavididi is good enough to return to the Championship. It wasn’t long ago that former Leicester manager Enzo Maresca was full of praise for the player – saying: “He is an amazing player who has been very important to us this season and will be important to us tomorrow as well.”

That “good” player couldn’t do enough to keep Leicester afloat in the second tier, but he could get a second chance to prove himself to Derby this summer.

Eustace has “huge” pride despite the playoff failure

Although it did not go as planned for the Rams in the end, they are back fighting for a place in the top six this season after spending the last campaign fighting for their place in the Championship. With that, there is no shame in finishing in eighth place with only four points in the playoffs.

John Eustace is certainly proud of his side, too. He told reporters on the final day of the season last weekend: “I am sitting here very proud of what we have done this year.

“The players were outstanding, regardless of the result today. The team effort and the progress we have made this season has been fantastic.

“Hopefully, it’s really exciting times to be part of a football club going forward. I think this was the highest attendance in the league in the EFL today, so it shows the size of the club and the fan base.

“Where we want to go is obviously to enter the Premier League with support in the next two or three seasons. That’s why I came and that’s what we want to do.”
