“Leicester City’s SHOCKING Masterplan After Bilal El Khannouss Signing – 5 JAW-DROPPING Options That Will Leave Marti Cifuentes Speechless!”

Arsenal’s successful hijack of Tottenham’s move for Eberechi Eze leaves Crystal Palace searching for a new attacking spark.

Their priority target is Bilal El Khannouss, but if the Moroccan departs Leicester City after just a single season, the Foxes will be forced into making a decision of their own.

Marti Cifuentes may need to act quickly, with Charlton awaiting on Saturday. Here are the leading candidates to step in.

Louis Page

Although yet to feature in Leicester’s opening two league matches, Page has been named on the bench and is viewed internally as a long-term solution.

The 17-year-old has largely developed as a deeper midfielder, but pre-season showed he can thrive in more advanced roles. Cifuentes has been particularly encouraged by his composure and intelligence.

“I’ve been impressed since day one,” the Spaniard explained. “He reads the game very well, can drop deep to aid build-up, and also operate between the lines. His left foot is excellent, and his set-piece shooting is a real asset.”

Despite such glowing praise, entrusting the team’s creative hub to a player yet to make his senior league debut would be a daring gamble. Page’s opportunity will come, but perhaps not just yet.

Will Alves

Another academy talent in contention is Will Alves. Cifuentes believes the youngster is most effective operating through the middle rather than from wide positions, which could make him a natural fit to replace El Khannouss.

Alves offers energy and directness in central areas, qualities that may prove invaluable if Leicester lose their Moroccan playmaker.

While neither Page nor Alves can immediately replicate El Khannouss’ influence, both represent internal options Cifuentes must weigh carefully.

For Leicester, the challenge is balancing development with the pressing need to stay competitive.
