He arrived in Leicester from Genk in 2015 and became one of the standout defensive midfielders in the league for a time.However, the profile of the now 28-year-old’s performances declined alongside that of Leicester as a whole.He signed a contract extension at the end of the 2023/24 season, but was sold the following summer to Turkish giants Besiktas for a reported fee of around £8million.
