Exciting young Academy graduate Wanya Marçal has extended his stay with Leicester City Football Club to the summer of 2026.

The 21-year-old had an impressive start to the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship campaign, making his full debut away at Huddersfield Town, which finished 1-0 to the Foxes, before going on to score his first senior goal the following week in a 2-1 win over Cardiff City at King Power Stadium.

Marçal, who is a Portugal youth international and has been with the Academy since Under-13s level, made his first appearance for Leicester City’s Under-18s in February 2020 and has progressed through the ranks, featuring for the Development Squad on 48 occasions in Premier League 2, scoring 10 goals.
