Leicester City has managed to keep their form on the better side, as they comfortably sit in the Top 4. Although their recent loss pushed them down on 4th position, below Chelsea.

With 3 games remaining, West Ham trailing by 5 points will try their best to finish in the Top 4. With Brendon Rodgers confident enough, Leicester prepares to strengthen their side for next season.

Boubakary Soumare, a talented Frenchman graduated from PSG academy. And joined LOSC Lille from the PSG B team in 2017.

This season, Lille challenges PSG with 3 points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table. Baubakary Soumare played 41 games for Lille in all competitions, with 19 starts in Ligue 1.

The 22 years old talented defensive mid-fielder will run out of contract in 2022. Hence, they will try to cash in for the player this season, in fear of losing him for free next year.
