Soule, who was on loan at Frosinone last season, scored 11 goals and made three assists but couldn’t prevent their relegation to Serie B. He has been compared to winger Domenico Berardi by Eusebio Di Francesco, who noted Soule’s “excellent” dribbling skills and potential for improvement.
Leicester’s Offer and Strategy
Leicester’s initial €25 million offer was turned down, but according to Tuttosport [via Sport Witness], the Foxes are preparing a new €30 million package with €5 million in add-ons to tempt Juventus. Additionally, they are ready to offer Soule a €15 million (£12.5 million) wage package over five years.
Leicester is also leveraging the influence of Caleb Okoli, a close friend of Soule, to persuade him to join. If successful, this move could make Okoli a fan favorite even before playing his first match for Leicester.
