Dragovic has been demoted to the odd appearances in domestic cups

The Austrian centre-back was reportedly a target for Manchester United when he was playing for Dinamo Kiev.

He ended up joining Bayer Leverkusen in 2016, but couldn't become a regular in his first season in Germany. He was loaned out to Leicester on deadline day at the start of this season.

In England, though, he's largely played second fiddle to Leicester's first choice pairing of new signing Harry Maguire and captain Wes Morgan.

The duo's solid partnership at the back has seen both Dragovic and Robert Huth relegated to the sidelines, with the former making only 2 appearances in the league this season.

Ad

For a centre-back who was once linked as a replacement for Rio Ferdinand, that is a huge step-down.

Morgan's recent injury will allow Dragovic a chance to prove himself, but Leicester is still reportedly in the market for a new defender. That suggests that Claude Puel still doesn't trust him completely, and it is perhaps time for the Austrian to return to Germany.

There's no assurance that he'll be the first choice at Leverkusen, but right now, it seems like he has a better chance there than in England.
