Abdul Fatawu is an exciting and lively presence for Leicester in the final third and, still aged just 22, looks to have a very bright future ahead of him.
The Ghana international was first spotted playing in the second tier in his homeland, where his performances had a number of Europe’s elite clubs plotting his progress and interested in securing his services.
He initially joined Sporting Lisbon but, after a season in Portugal, he was loaned out to Leicester where he turned in a number of eye-catching displays as they were promoted to the Premier League.
His move was made permanent in the summer of 2024. Like many of his teammates he endured a challenging 2024-25, but his nine goals and seven assists have been a beacon of light in a gloomy 2025-26 campaign.
The Danish defender Jannik Vestergaard has been with Leicester since the summer of 2021, having joined from Southampton, and his recent return from hernia surgery is a timely boost for the Foxes.
After spending much of his youth career in his homeland, Vestergaard began his senior career with Hoffenheim’s second team before graduating to the first team.
He went on to join Werder Bremen in 2015 before moving on to Borussia Monchengladbach a year later.
Vestergaard signed for Southampton in 2018 and had three strong years with the Saints, attracting the interest of a number of clubs before opting for a move to the King Power Stadium.
He was demoted to the under-21s at the end of the 2023-23 season, but returned to be a key figure in their promotion campaign of two campaigns ago, and he has remained an integral figure since.
Wales midfielder Jordan James is on loan with the Foxes from French club Rennes, and he was touch and go to be fit to face the Swans after a recent heel injury.
The 21-year-old has shown a maturity beyond his years in a struggling side, and already has 26 international caps to his name.
Born in Hereford, James joined Birmingham City at pre-academy level and progressed all the way through the ranks to become a first-team regular while still a teenager.
He made nearly 100 league appearances for the Blues before joining Rennes in 2024. Having not established himself as a regular with the Ligue 1 side he linked up with Leicester in a deal that includes an option to buy.
