One name has stood out for Leicester in the 2025/26 season. The 21-year-old star has impressed with his quality, composure, and consistency, even in a struggling team. His performances have made him a key figure and one of the club’s best players this campaign.
However, recent claims suggesting he will leave Leicester in the summer window appear to be misleading.
Some reports have downplayed Leicester’s chances without fully considering the details of his clause. Despite the club’s financial situation, there is an option in his contract that allows Leicester to keep him.

The player in question is the 21-year-old Wales star on loan from French Ligue 1 club Stade Rennes Jordan James.
The deal is not automatic, and it could be affected if Leicester suffer another relegation. Still, staying in the Championship does not necessarily mean he will return to Rennes.
There is also a strong possibility that Rennes will review his progress in the summer and decide whether to reintegrate him into their squad.
James is clearly talented enough to play at a higher level, and if he chooses to move on, Leicester fans would understand. He has already shown his quality and made a strong impact during his time at the club.
If this turns out to be a short stay, Leicester can at least take pride in having one of the Championship’s most exciting midfielders, even if only for a season.
