Iborra is a defensive midfielder who is powerful in the air and can control the tempo of a game. With
Wilfred Ndidi and Danny Drinkwater already in the Foxes midfield, Iborra will add plenty more
steel if he agrees to join Leicester, plus he has also scored 26 goals over the past three seasons in all
competitions and has a knack of timing his runs to perfection. Following Sevilla’s defeat to the Foxes in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 last season, many of Sevilla’s players made remarks
about the atmosphere at the King Power Stadium in the second leg where Leicester sealed their
passage to the quarterfinals.
With that fresh in his mind Iborra will be attracted to Leicester, but giving up UCL action with
Sevilla for a likely midtable scrap with Leicester seems like a bit of an odd decision for a player who
has won three Europa League titles and has driven Sevilla on from midfield in recent seasons. That
said, with Sevilla appointing Eduardo Berizzo as their new manager perhaps Iborra isn’t in his plans
and whatever way you slice it up, this seems like a massive coup for Leicester. The Foxes are aiming
to rebuild under Craig Shakespeare after he was handed the managers job on a permanent position
following an impressive finish to last season which secured their status in the PL, and a top 10 finish
in the PL plus a cup run would be a good campaign next season.
