10 Players You Didn't Know Nearly Signed For Leicester City

9. Alexsandar Mitrovic

One of the many strikers Leicester were linked with in the January transfer window just passed, ten million pounds the reported figure that the club were floating to lure the twenty year old Serbian to the Premier League. No doubt regular Premier League football and the chance to go into Leicester City folklore by scoring the goals that would secure them an unlikely place in the top tier would be an enticing opportunity. At the same time there was always the lingering risk of dropping into the Championship and perhaps his own stock dropping. Having already scored over 30 goals in a couple of seasons at Anderlecht, his pedigree is likely beyond that of what Leicester could offer and the reported links with Newcastle and AC Milan will be a fair better match for his considerable ability. Even so, for City to be linked with a player of his calibre would have been an exceptional capture for the club.
