The Foxes are reportedly interested in acquiring Perth Glory defender James Overy. Get the most recent Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive.
James Overy, a winger for Perth Glory, is allegedly wanted by Leicester City, while Everton and West Ham are also contenders.
Although the 16-year-old has not yet made his senior debut for the A-League team, he has already demonstrated enough potential to catch the interest of Premier League teams in addition to the Foxes.
Furthermore, even though Everton is reportedly the front-runner to sign him, Alan Nixon of Patreon claims that City is interested in signing him. The teenager reportedly participated in a Toffees youth game last week.
It is also claimed that Overy has previously had a trial at West Ham when the Hammers discovered him during their tour of Australia in the summer. He was reportedly spotted by them when marking Jarrod Bowen during a friendly.
The player’s family heritage gives him a British passport, thus it is said that he won’t need a work permit. This would facilitate any future relocation to the UK.
Overy will probably join a Premier League team if he moves to the King Power Stadium in the future; Leicester is already 14 points ahead of the Championship’s automatic promotion spots.
