Leicester City are ready to splash the cash on the former Arsenal youngster. Leicester City are one of those teams which are interested in signing the Montpellier winger Mavididi.
Mavididi, 25, might be a familiar name to some Football League followers. The former Arsenal youngster previously spent time on loan. That is with the likes of Charlton Athletic and Preston North End before leaving North London for Juventus in 2018.

Mavididi wouldn’t really get a look-in with the Italian giants. Managing just one league appearance for the club. But the Derby-born attacker has made a name for himself in France with Montpellier where he’s been since 2020.
Mavididi has made 98 total appearances for the Ligue 1 club. Scoring 21 goals and assisting five more in that time. Last season he scored four and assisted two in 26 Ligue 1 outings.
Mavididi is one of a growing number of young, English players who’ve left big clubs like Arsenal. He has gone and made a name for themselves in Europe.
It was obviously a risk for the player but he’s not looked back since. And now he has the chance to potentially return to England. It is to show the fans how much progression he’s made over the past few years.
Leicester are in need of attacking recruits after losing James Maddison. Harvey Barnes looks set to follow too. So Enzo Maresca could do with a player like Mavididi. Who can score and create goals and also play in a number of positions.
But with competition rife, a move won’t be simple, and it could yet cost the Foxes a fair bit of money too. Arsenal are also hoping that the ones who leave their academy go on and become successful elsewhere if it doesn’t workout there.
