Leicester City has boosted their attacking ranks for the future with the signing of Zambian forward Patson Daka. He has signed a 5 year contract which will commence from the 1st of July 2021.
Daka was the top goal scorer in the Austrian League last season. He netted an incredible 27 goals in 28 appearances.
In his 125 appearances for RB Salzburg, Daka scored 68 times. He also helped the team win 4 consecutive league titles and a total of 4 trophies in his 4 years at the club.
“I’m so, so excited to join this great, historic Club.” Patson Daka told LCFC TV.
It has been my dream and I’m so happy and looking forward to what’s coming next. I have followed Leicester from the time they won the league.
“I feel it is the perfect place for me, because it’s a team that fights for titles. I know it’s not going to be easy, but I feel ready to face this new challenge.
“I will give my best for the Club each and every day, and I look forward to seeing the Leicester City fans inside the stadium soon.” The excited Daka told the club.
He will join fellow Africans in Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi (both Nigerian). He will meet up with the rest of his teammates at technical staff when the new season officially starts on 1 July 2021.
Leicester City finished the last two seasons in 5th place. This is despite being in a UEFA Champions League position all season.
