BREAKING NEWS: The £23 million Leicester City signing appears certain to depart next month:

Leicester City appears to be headed for promotion to the Premier League based on their current standing in the Championship.
Despite his exciting potential, striker Patson Daka has played little this season.
The likelihood that Daka will depart the team in January as a result of his dearth of playing time is growing.

The Foxes have won 14 of their first 18 league games in the second tier and look destined for promotion to the top flight. One player who has been involved far less than expected this season is striker Patson Daka.

The 25-year-old signed for Leicester from RB Salzburg in 2021, for a reported fee of £23m and looked to be an incredibly exciting signing at the time. Daka had scored 27 goals in his last 28 league games for the Austrian side, which was a pleasant statistic for the Foxes to look at.

Daka has been heavily linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium for months, with Bournemouth failing to get a deal over the line at the end of the summer window. Elsewhere, it seemed that Brentford were lining up the Zambia international as their Ivan Toney replacement.

The Zambian striker has made 76 appearances over his two and a half year spell with the club so far, scoring 15 goals and assisting eight. Potentially, his main highlight in a Foxes shirt came reasonably early into his Leicester spell as he grabbed four goals in one game to complete a stunning comeback against Spartak Moscow in the Europa League.
