Wes Burns is a Leicester player. This will be a good addition. He is a versitale player, with his preferred position being an attacking flank. A full international, 10 caps for Wales. The former Ipswich player, Wes Burns (31) will join his former teammate, Conor Chaplin at Leicester. To have players with a past together, previously been promoted from this division, is a massive positive. According to a number of Ipswich fans commenting on this, they are a bit surprised, since the player just signed a new contract. With the change of management at Ipswich, this became an option, and for Leicester a major coup, hopefully. Listening to Ipswich fan Russ from The Suffolk Crunch, talking about Wes Burns, makes it possible to be upbeat about this signing. This should be one move that will help Leicester this season. Burns joined Ipswich from Fleetwood back in 2021, starting his career at Bristol City. Playing 44 league games for The Robins, then adding 144 new, while at Highbury, as well as 150 league games for The Tractor Boys. We’ve signed Wes Burns on a three-year deal from Ipswich Town! Welcome, Wes! 💙 Nice to see him in the building and confirmed as another new Leicester signing this season. He is in that frame of what we believed was needed to get things back on track, and hopefully giving the depth needed to be part of that promotion push next sesaon. Leicester is still lacking options up front, but today it was announced that Bosnian U21 international Admir Bristic will be joining the club. A visa issue caused a slight delay, but it’s now resolved, and we expect the announcement within the next day or so. While he’s a bit of a wild card, his playing style fits the team’s needs, and being compared to Edin Dzeko adds promise to the signing. No more news on Oliver Skipp and his potential move to Preston on loan, and as we shouted earlier, looks a strange one, hopes are the former England U21 international will be staying with the club.
