Leicester City suffered a disappointing defeat at Turf Moor courtesy of Burnley at the weekend despite having taken a first-half lead through Harvey Barnes.

French midfielder Nampalys Mendy was handed a rare start in order to deputise for the absent Wilfred Ndidi but how was his performance assessed by the Foxes fans?

Should Mendy be sold this summer?

Yes

Yes

No

No

What do we think?

Ndidi has been pivotal to Leicester City’s successes so far this season and whoever was tasked with deputising for him was always going to be compared to the Nigerian enforcer. To put it simply, Mendy is a downgrade on the 23-year-old who is currently valued at £40.5m (via Transfermarkt.co.uk) and there’s no doubt his absence was felt.

Mendy has made just three Premier League appearances so far this season and it’s always difficult for a player to come in from the wilderness and immediately perform at the level required, particularly in a side who are challenging at the very top of the division.

The player arrived at the King Power from the French side Nice back in July 2016 for a fee of £13.95m but given his inability to establish himself as a regular, there’s probably a good chance he won’t be at the club beyond the summer.
