Daka scored four Premier League goals last season, assisting the same number as City finished 18th in the top flight. Iheanacho scored five and assisted another five.

The lure of one of Europe’s ‘top five’ leagues combined with European football could prove too strong for the strikers. What is for sure is that Leicester will stand firm in any potential negotiations for the two centre-forwards this summer.
If they were to depart, it would, potential signings aside, leave Jamie Vardy as the only senior striker at the club. Manager Enzo Maresca has already confirmed that the veteran will be staying put at King Power Stadium.

They should both leave especially Daka. Roma is a huge upgrade plus European football is guaranteed.
It can be a good move for Daka to be under morinho
It will be a good move for daka indeed
I love these guys. They hosted me for a huge piss-up when they came to Sydney. I have a huge problem with alcohol and drugs and they tried to help me but I bought so muck coke, we just slammed the lot.
Gimme a call and we’ll get on it but it’s your shout coz I am broke as hell: [email protected]
Faz here again – sorry, I meant smack. Coke is too expensive. They cut the smack here with corn flour so it gets a bit gummy and hard to get up the needle.
Indeed it Will be a good move for our Zambian striker. Wishing you all the best in this my boy Daka
make that deal happen it will be a huge success and development for daka morinioh is the best coach
