Leicester City Youngsters Secure Loan Moves for Valuable Game Time and Senior Experience
Several Leicester City players departed in January, securing loan moves across various English leagues.

So, how did the Foxes out on loan perform over the weekend? Here’s a roundup of the latest action.
Leicester City Players on Loan – Weekend Recap
Hamza Choudhury
Hamza Choudhury continued to impress for Sheffield United, featuring in their 2-1 victory over Portsmouth.
After a solid debut, he retained his place in the squad and played just over an hour before being substituted.
The win keeps the Blades on track in their push for Premier League promotion.
Will Alves
Deadline-day signing Will Alves had a standout debut for Cardiff City in their FA Cup clash against Stoke City.
Cardiff won on penalties, and Alves’ performance caught the attention of fans, despite it being only his sixth senior competitive game. He has already begun settling in well at the Welsh club.
Brandon Cover
After being recalled from Port Vale, Cover was loaned out to League Two side Fleetwood Town.
Following a substitute appearance against Morecambe, he earned his first start against Cheltenham Town, playing just over an hour as Fleetwood secured a 2-0 victory.
Arjan Raikhy
Arjan Raikhy made his debut for National League side Tamworth after a deadline-day move. Unfortunately, it was not the dream start, as Tamworth suffered a 2-1 defeat to Halifax Town at the Lamb Ground.
Oli Ewing
Oli Ewing, a Leicester academy graduate, secured a loan move to National League North club Buxton.
His first outing ended in a 4-0 loss to Chorley, but his next game against Rushall Olympic was far more memorable.
Ewing played the full 90 minutes and scored his first professional goal, helping his side to a crucial away win.
With these players gaining valuable experience across different levels of English football, Leicester will be keen to monitor their progress as they continue their development on loan.
