This move will mark the winger’s first spell out on loan having spent his entire career to date within Premier League Academies. He was picked up by Chelsea as a youth, but the Foxes brought him over to the King Power Stadium in 2023.
He has impressed in the Premier League 2, contributing six goals in his 30 appearances at the level. He also featured against his new suitors in the EFL Trophy last season, playing 78 minutes of the 7-1 victory for Wigan Athletic.
Now, according to Pete O’Rourke, he is about to take the first step into senior football with Wigan in League One.
Youth, energy and talent but can he take the next step?
The 20-year-old is well regarded in the Premier League club’s academy, he has talent in abundance with his ability to get up and down the wing with impressive ease.
His fearless runs at the opposition can cause defenders to back track creating opportunities for the other attackers. Whilst not prolific, he also has a knack of popping up with a goal at vital times.
