Unbelievable 😱😱: Leicester City star reveals the only reason that would make him stay at the club after this season — a revelation that has surprised everyone

Few players arrive in the Championship carrying such a blend of elegance and authority as Jordan James.

Comparisons with Steven Gerrard may appear ambitious, yet there is a growing sense the Welshman possesses the tools to justify them.

His game carries a distinctly European polish, allied with a fierce competitive edge and the composure of a refined English technician.

Throughout the 2025/26 campaign, James has been Leicester City’s standout performer. Even amid inconsistency around him, he has dictated play with maturity beyond his years, offering both craft and drive in equal measure.

Uncertainty, however, continues to surround his long-term future. Some reports have rather hastily suggested Leicester stand little chance of securing his services beyond the current season. That view overlooks key details within the agreement that brought him to the King Power.

“…expect Rennes to take a look at him in the summer ad perhaps give him another chance.”

Leicester do, in fact, hold an option to make the move permanent, although it is not without conditions. Relegation could complicate matters, but remaining in the Championship would not automatically trigger a return to France.

For now, James remains central to Leicester’s hopes. Should he depart, few would begrudge him a move to a bigger stage.

“City have an option to buy in James’ loan contract and it would be a sensible deal to do given his form and his potential.”
