Premier League – Which Leicester, Leeds and Southampton stars will we miss in the Championship?

30.05. –
This year’s Premier League season has offered plenty of surprises. In addition to the fantastic performances of Arsenal, the incredible improvement of Newcastle or De Zerbi’s Brighton, it is also the relegation of Leicester that had the team to fight for European cups. Next to him, Leeds and Southampton are also heading to the Championship. However, their star players will not play in the second league. Who is it about?

Leicester City

James Maddisson – Since his arrival from Norwich in 2018, the Coventry native has been a big support for the Foxes every time. Mostly, however, Leicester fought for European cups and even the Champions League. Always unsuccessful, but Brendan Rodgers had a really great team. Maddisson scored 43 goals in 5 seasons and assisted on another 32. Even this season, in which Leicester struggled, was great on his part. The 26-year-old English representative scored 10+9. There’s no way he’ll stay. Its value is 55 million euros. Among those interested is mainly Newcastle and there was talk of Arsenal.

Harvey Barnes – The 25-year-old speedster, like Maddisson, has always been a great support for Leicester. He is a native of the club and has really come into his own in 2019, after returning from a successful loan spell at West Brom. The first half year was adaptive, but then it took off. In 4 seasons, he scored a very nice 34 league goals and 23 assists. In this season, he even scored 13 goals. From an individual point of view, quite a successful year. However, Leicester did not have many other supports. There is not much talk about specific applicants. But he could be a good fit for Newcastle or Aston Villa. Its value is 32 million euros in 25 years.

Leeds United

Tyler Adams – For Leeds, his injury was a big line over the budget. For most of the season, the captain of the USA national team was a huge support and his transfer from Leipzig was crucial for The Whites. He is still only 24 years old. He still has everything ahead of him and this year in the Premier League he showed us that he can stand up to the best even in the best league in the world. He might not be an expensive alternative for other clubs after relegation. Its value is 20 million euros. There is talk that he could replace Declan Rice at West Ham. He would be a great fit.

Wilfried Gnonto – One of the greatest talents in Italian football. A graduate of Inter, but he spent the first two years of his professional career in Zurich before deciding to move to Leeds. Although 2 goals and 4 assists are not staggering numbers, Gnonto has won the hearts of the fans and will be in high demand this summer. He has huge potential and steps towards being one of the best in Europe. He is only 19 years old. Everything in front of you. Clubs like Brighton, Aston Villa or several Serie A clubs could be interested.

Southampton

James Ward-Prowse – The captain and stalwart of the team who remained loyal to The Saints despite all the offers and opportunities he had over the years. This season was great for him individually, he scored 9 goals and assisted on 4. He is a Southampton icon who outgrew the club a long time ago and now it will be decided where he will operate next. Of course, staying at Southampton is also an option, but it would be a huge shame for him. Ward-Prowse is one of the best midfielders in the entire Premier League. Tottenham or West Ham have been talked about for a long time.

Romeo Lavia – One of the biggest player surprises this season. 18-year-old Lavia jumped straight from Manchester City’s academy to the Premier League. And it took a few games for them to regret it at the Etihad Stadium. Lavia was one of the best defensive midfielders and could whip himself especially against the strongest opponents. There will be huge interest in him in the summer. He will be from practically all the big clubs from the Premier League. There is talk of Chelsea or Liverpool. Manchester City have a buy-back clause. But it will not be active until next year.
