Ruud Van Nistelrooy has previously given a particular Leicester City star a lot of praise, and Manchester United is supposedly in the running to recruit him. The Reds are undoubtedly going to be in the market this summer, and it has been rumored that they are looking at a few more Premier League players, including a specific Leicester City player valued at £13 million.
Top Premier League teams will undoubtedly be vying for some of Leicester’s established and young players, as they are already relegated and will inevitably lose some talent.
Fichajes claims that Manchester United has made an offer of £13 million for Jake Evans, who made his Leicester debut against Brighton & Hove Albion last month and also made his Southampton debut on Saturday.
Evans can play anywhere around the front line, but he is a striker. Over his stay with the club, the Englishman has scored 22 goals in 38 games for Leicester’s minor teams. In recent weeks, Van Nistelrooy, his manager, has been complimenting the forward for performances like these, which have led to his call-up to the first team.
United make surprise offer for Leicester sensation Jake Evans
Fichajes reports that Manchester United and Tottenham have both made bids of about £13 million to acquire Evans before the summer transfer window opens. With some of the top clubs showing interest, Leicester is aware that it will be challenging to hold onto Evans, but the Foxes intend to assemble their team around him.
The fact that United and Spurs are looking for yet another young player is not surprising. Now that Leicester has been formally demoted to the Championship, Premier League teams have the chance to attempt to sign some of its players.
Even though Evans, whom expert Ben Mattinson calls a killer finisher, hasn’t had much of an impact for Leicester at the senior level, his contributions to the youth teams have been recognized.
In 14 Premier League 2 games, the 16-year-old phenom has scored 10 goals, despite playing against players that are certainly four or five years older than him. This summer, it will be difficult for the Foxes to retain him at the King Power.
