“Marti Cifuentes’ Jaw-Dropping Leicester City Transfer Bombshell Will Leave Swansea Fans Speechless!”

Marti Cifuentes believes Jordan James has a long-term future at Leicester City, well beyond his current season-long loan, after the young midfielder continued his impressive form with another crucial goal in the win over Swansea City.

The Wales international found the net for the second consecutive game — both against Welsh opposition — producing a sublime strike from the edge of the box that curled into the top corner at the Swansea.com Stadium.

His goal put Leicester ahead, and although they were pegged back by a contentious penalty, the Foxes rallied late on.

Abdul Fatawu restored their lead with a stunning effort before Jannik Vestergaard sealed a 3–1 victory with a header, ending a run of five games without a win.

James, just 21, has quickly become a fan favourite, with City supporters chanting his name after full-time.

Currently on loan from Rennes, his deal includes an option to buy — something Cifuentes is already keen to explore.

“I knew him from his time at Birmingham before his move to France,” said Cifuentes. “Even then, I was impressed by how well he performed in a difficult season for them.

We felt his profile fit exactly what we needed — a dynamic number eight who can play deep, operate between the lines, and make late runs into the box to score.”

While the Leicester boss doesn’t expect James to find the net every week, he is delighted by the energy and intelligence the midfielder brings to the side.

“He’s got the engine to cover ground, help in build-up play, and arrive in dangerous positions.

We’re really pleased with how well he’s settled. He enjoys being here, and we’re happy with what he’s giving us,” Cifuentes added.

“I hope his future is with Leicester because I believe he can be a top player for us for many years.

The key is to keep helping him develop — he’s improving every week and is already a very important part of our team.”

Leicester’s resilience impressed Cifuentes as much as their attacking quality.

After Adam Idah equalised from the penalty spot with 20 minutes left, the manager praised his players’ mentality for finding a way to win.

“We were playing really well before the penalty, but what I value most is how we reacted,” he said.

“We always talk about chasing goals — no matter how well you’re performing, you have to keep pushing to score.

The team showed great mental strength after the setback, and the way we finished the game showed real belief and character.”
