Tyrese Shade Transfer from Burton Albion to Leicester City
A return to Leicester City is a possibility for Tyrese Shade, a 25-year-old English and St. Kitts & Nevis forward who previously spent five years in the club's academy. The St Kitts and Nevis international has 9 caps for his country and has had a successful season at Burton Albion following his move from non-league Eastleigh last summer, scoring 14 goals in all competitions, including an FA Cup hat-trick against Brackley. Burton turned down a bid of over £1 million for Shade in January, and his valuation is believed to have risen. His contract with Burton Albion runs until June 2027. His manager, Gary Bowyer, has publicly confirmed that he does not expect the player to remain at the Pirelli Stadium next season due to anticipated interest. Leicester, who are now preparing for League One, are among the clubs interested in their former academy player. They may face competition from Shade's hometown club, Birmingham City, who are also monitoring his progress. Shade's appeal is enhanced by his versatility, as he has shown he can play as both a winger and a centre-forward.
