Harry Winks's departure to Cagliari in Serie A brings an end to one of the most frustrating careers in recent Leicester City history.

Not because he was a poor player - far from it.

In fact, that is what makes his departure so intriguing. Leicester are saying goodbye to a former England international and a midfielder who, at his best, possesses qualities that very few players at the club have.
