The fact that Souttar’s spot in Australia’s lineup is no longer assured only makes it more imperative that the center back vacate King Power Stadium.
- Harry Souttar’s game time at Leicester City has been limited, with only a couple of starts this season.
- Some suggest he needs to leave the club in the summer to advance his career, according to Graham Arnold.
- Souttar may need to consider a move to showcase his abilities and secure a spot in Australia’s national team.
Harry Souttar, a center-back for Leicester City, has had a difficult season.
Although the Asia Cup caused him to miss a little portion of the season, the former Stoke City player would have preferred to see significantly more game time than he has so far in the 2023–24 campaign.
After moving from the bet365 Stadium, he was able to play a fair amount of football in the second part of the previous season. The Foxes returning to the Championship should have given him even more opportunities to play.
However, with the arrival of Conor Coady, Ben Nelson’s move to senior football, and the Foxes’ reliance on players like Wout Faes and Jannik Vestergaard, Souttar’s playing time has been restricted. This season, he has only made a few starts, one of which was against Liverpool.
The Australian has obviously not benefited from Enzo Maresca’s appointment, but he has stuck with the Foxes and hasn’t made any noise about leaving—at least not in public.
It’s possible that Leicester will be in the Premier League the following season, which would allow Souttar to play in the top division once more.
For the sake of his career, some, on the other hand, will argue that he must vacate King Power Stadium in the summer.
Those individuals have merit, as Australia’s coach Graham Arnold disclosed that the 25-year-old’s lack of playing time in England means he is no longer assured a spot in his team.
