How are Premier League loan players faring? Part two: Leicester to Wolves

Leicester City

Islam Slimani, 30, Fenerbahce The striker has made 13 appearances for Fenerbahce in both the Turkish league and the Europa League this season. He has scored six goals for the club, including two in a Europa League match against Spartak Trnava.

George Thomas, 21, Scunthorpe Though born in Leicester the midfielder has been progressing through the Wales youth ranks. He has been getting the game time he wanted at Scunthorpe, where he has made 13 appearances and scored a goal in a league match against Oxford.

Harvey Barnes, 20, West Bromwich Albion A much sought-after prospect, Burnley-born Barnes has been a regular in the Baggies midfield since joining this season, and has scored six times in 19 appearances.

Filip Benkovic, 21, Celtic The Croatian centre-half has made nine appearances for Celtic in the Scottish Premier and the Europa League. His loan is season long, though he could gain an early recall to Leicester should Harry Maguire leave the club in the January transfer window. Paul Wilson

Liverpool

Loris Karius, 25, Besiktas The goalkeeper moved to Turkey on a two-year deal following the Champions League final and, a couple of further errors aside, has done well. So much so, in fact, that Besiktas’s president, Fikret Orman, has express an interest in signing the German on a permanent basis.

Adam Bogdan, 31, Hibernian Established as the Scottish club’s No 1 following his arrival there in July, the Hungarian is enjoying life in Edinburgh so much that he wants to make the move permanent when his contract at Liverpoolexpires in the summer. “The people at the club are fantastic,” he said.

Sheyi Ojo, 21, Reims The winger is doing reasonably well during what is his fourth successive loan spell. He has made a number of appearances for the Ligue 1 side, including a 90-minute display against Paris Saint-Germain, and scored in the Coupe de la Ligue.

Harry Wilson, 21, Derby County The Wales winger has established himself as an important part of Frank Lampard’s exciting young side and earned national attention with a stunning free-kick during Derby’s Carabao Cup victory away at Manchester United in September.
