Patson Daka 4 Years Stay At Leicester Coming to An End

By John Mbawala

Patson Daka looks set to leave Leicester City this summer as the club begins a major overhaul ahead of next season.

The Zambian striker, who arrived from Red Bull Salzburg in 2021, has struggled to replicate the prolific form he showed in Austria. At Salzburg, Daka scored 54 goals in just 82 games, helping the club to four league titles and three Austrian Cups.

However, life in the Premier League has proven far more challenging.

Premier League Struggles

Since joining the Foxes, Daka has managed just 17 goals in 107 appearances. Injuries and inconsistent performances have derailed his progress, and the 26-year-old’s time at the King Power appears to be drawing to a close.

According to SportsBoom, Daka will leave Leicester in the upcoming transfer window. Everton are reportedly among the clubs keeping tabs on the forward, as they look to strengthen their attack for the new season.

Fresh Start Needed

Daka missed a significant portion of the campaign due to ankle surgery and managed only one goal in 22 outings. With Leicester relegated back to the Championship, the striker is keen to remain in England’s top flight.

He is said to be eager for a fresh start and believes he still has more to offer in the Premier League.

Foxes Planning Rebuild

Leicester are preparing for life without Jamie Vardy, who will depart at the end of the season after 13 legendary years at the club. Signing a new striker is now a top priority, and the Foxes are looking to cash in on Daka before his contract expires next summer.

At just 26, Daka still has time on his side. But after a disappointing spell in England, the next move in his career could prove decisive.
