In 60 appearances for Leicester, Praet has managed to score 3 goals, and create 5 goals for his teammates.
The 27-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Belgium. Dennis Praet has also left his mark at the international stage after netting one goal in 13 senior appearances for the Belgium national team.
He is out of the picture at Leicester City, which has opened the door for a potential exit.
