One rarely-seen Leicester Metropolis participant has been earmarked for a possible exit from the membership lower than yr after he joined the Foxes.
Simply six months in the past, the East Midlands membership signed Woyo Coulibaly from Parma for £3m (beIN SPORTS), a knockdown worth within the fashionable switch market, however the Mali worldwide hasn’t had one of the best of instances on the King Energy Stadium up to now.
Regardless of being the person who signed him, Ruud van Nistelrooy handed him simply 5 appearances for Leicester, and the full-back’s prospects below Marti Cifuentes don’t look like overly promising both.
Coulibaly tipped to depart Leicester after simply six months
The 26-year-old did not even make it off the bench within the Foxes’ 1-0 win over Zalaegerszeg in Hungary final weekend, regardless of an entire host of substitutions being made so as to give minutes to as many gamers as attainable.
In his assessment of the match in Hungary, Leicester Mercury‘s Jordan Blackwell wrote: ‘The dearth of an look for Woyo Coulibaly doesn’t bode nicely for the full-back. It could be that his Metropolis profession ends this summer time, simply over six months on from his January arrival.’
Coulibaly already in peril of turning into a forgotten man at Leicester
The Mali worldwide was successfully discarded by Van Nistelrooy within the spring, having not performed for the reason that 4-0 shellacking at house to Brentford in February, when he was uncerermoniously substituted at half-time (Transfermarkt).
The managerial change over the summer time seems to have achieved little to enhance his prospects of that includes abundantly for Leicester upon their return to the Championship, judging by his lack of involvement in opposition to Zalaegerszeg.
Jake Justin and Ricardo Pereira look like forward of him within the pecking order, and Cifuentes even picked Luke Thomas at right-back and Hamza Choudhury on the opposite flank in Hungary final weekend.
It might be argued that Coulibaly hasn’t been given a good crack of the whip on the King Energy Stadium if he’s to be discarded after solely 5 appearances, and the membership should’ve seen one thing in him in the event that they introduced him to the East Midlands within the first place.
At current, although, it’s tough to envisage the 26-year-old having a lot of a job to play for the Foxes within the upcoming marketing campaign.
