OH Leuvren striker Thomas Henry has hinted at a possible move to Leicester City, who just so happen to be the sister club of the Belgian side.
Henry has been in fine form in Belgium this season, with 20 goals and five assists in 27 games in the Jupiler Pro League this season.
Those kind of numbers have not gone unnoticed, with several reports claiming that Turkish giants Besiktas are keen on a move in the summer.
Whether that happens, or he is just one of several possibilities, remains to be seen, but that led Hurriyet to seek out an interview and get some clarification.
And it was during that conversation that the player revealed he would prefer a move elsewhere in Europe, particularly Leicester City.
“Everyone knows Besiktas, which is a great club that plays in European cups every year,” he said.
“Other leagues are more prioritized for me. Germany, England, Italy or Spain make me dream more.
“But everybody is a big club that plays in European cups every year. Besiktas knows. We will see what will happen.
“Leuven is Leicester City’s sister team, and therefore the transition to the Premier League is easier for me. England attracts me.”
Unfortunately for Henry, a move to Leicester is unlikely this summer, even if it would be easy to get over the line.
The Foxes are well stocked for strikers with Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho, the latter of whom has been very impressive in recent weeks while Vardy has struggled.
It’s unlikely they’ll be chasing an addition in that area this summer, but even if they were, it’s easy to imagine they’d be setting their sights a little higher than a 26-year-old in the Belgian top flight.
Still, Henry is clearly keen on the move if they’ll offer it, which is a big hurdle cleared if they ever decide to do so.
That, and the fact both clubs have Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha as their chairman.
