Leicester City look like they are finally putting the chaos of the last couple of seasons behind them, and moving towards a more structured and stable approach to their football. Appointing Brendan Rodgers towards the end of the last season was one such move, and securing the permanent signing of Youri Tielemans was another.
The Belgian midfielder was coveted across Europe, but the Foxes acted decisively to nab one of their top targets. They have also looked to solve a long-standing problem by signing Ayoze Pérez from Newcastle United. The Spanish attacker could be a very shrewd addition, and as this tactical analysis scout report will show, he will help fill a literal hole in Leicester’s attack next season.
Player profile
Pérez is a 25-year-old forward from Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. He started his career at local club CD Tenerife, eventually playing in Spain’s Segunda División and winning the Breakthrough Player and Best Attacking Midfielder awards at the end of the 2013/14 season. This piqued the interest of several clubs around Europe, and Pérez reportedly rejected the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and FC Porto to sign for Newcastle United for a fee of £1.5 million.
