Hamza Choudhury: Earlier this month, a news report by Greek media outlet SportFM shook up the Bangladeshi football scene. Greek club Olympiacos had become interested in Hamza Chowdhury. If he could go there, Hamza could have been seen in big tournaments like the UEFA Champions League. However, there is little new news about that rumor for now.
Rather, there are rumors that Leicester City may keep Hamza after his absolutely mediocre performance last season. Hamza was last seen in Leicester City’s first pre-season training session last night. Along with this, the news of the dismissal of coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is also coming. Hamza was not in the Dutch coach’s plans, which is why he was sent on loan to play for Sheffield.
However, the Foxes are thinking of firing the Dutch coach in the new season. The team may also fire seven players in the new season. At least that is what the local media in Leicestershire has reported. And Hamza Chowdhury’s name is not on it. Although the list also includes the names of experienced stars like Bilal El-Khanousi, Preston Dacca or Wyatt Fawcett.
Goalkeeper Mads Hermansson, defender Boban Karim Sommer and defenders Yannick Vestergaard and Harry Winks are also likely to leave the club this summer. Leicester are looking to sell these players to rebuild their squad for next season. However, Leicestershire Live has confirmed that Hamza is not on the list for sale.
Of course, Olympiacos is also not in a position to cut corners right now. Olympiacos has entered the field with a lot of pressure for the next season. Currently, the team is planning for experienced midfielder Dusan Tadic, who has played for Ajax and Southampton. According to Greek media, they can think about Hamza only after Tadic’s contract is completed.
There is also a possibility of a contract with Sheffield. However, for that, it is important that Chris Wilder remains as coach. Whether Wilder stays in Sheffield or not will depend on how realistic the Hamza-Sheffield rumor can be.
