Regarding the possibility of Yunus Akgun and Cesare Casadei leaving the King Power Stadium early this month, a journalist from Leicester has made his decision.

 

Akgun is currently on loan from Turkish Super Lig outfit Galatasaray, but his impact and game time at the King Power Stadium have been limited so far this season.

Making 14 appearances for the club this term, he has registered two assists in the process, but has been unable to find the back of the net himself during that time.

Perhaps that shouldn’t be a huge surprise considering he has been a substitute in many of his appearances, something that hasn’t allowed him to get into a rhythm.

Casadei, meanwhile, has been the subject of criticism from some Leicester fans on social media following his temporary switch from Chelsea.

Scoring against Cardiff City and Rotherham United, he has managed to get himself on the scoresheet twice in 21 league appearances, but that hasn’t been enough for him to impress some supporters.

And it’s fair to say some of their other summer signings have made more of an impact, including Abdul Fatawu.

Blackwell on Akgun and Casadei: “I can’t see that happening

There may be concerns about Akgun and Casadei’s future given that they haven’t had much of an impact at Leicester and that Djed Spence is returning to Tottenham Hotspur, which is concerning for Leeds United, another promotion contender.

However, Blackwell believes that even if Leicester had the choice, they wouldn’t terminate their loan periods.

He posted the following in response to a query on the Leicestershire Live website: “No, I don’t see it occurring.
