Leicester City Star Poised for Exit as New Developments Surface – Journalist

Leicester City secured the signing of Woyo Coulibaly last week, but since then, no further transfers have occurred.

Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy urgently needs reinforcements, as his team has suffered seven consecutive Premier League defeats, leaving them in 19th place.

They are fortunate to be only two points from safety, with their relegation rivals also struggling.

With financial constraints in mind, Leicester is likely to operate on a sell-to-buy model. In line with this approach, one of their first-team players is currently undergoing a medical ahead of a permanent transfer from the King Power Stadium.

Tom Cannon is set to join Sheffield United, with the striker undergoing a medical today, according to Sheffield Star journalist Danny Hall.

Leicester agreed to a £10m deal for Cannon on Monday, and the final details are being finalized for him to join the promotion-chasing Blades.

Sheffield United are second in the Championship and are poised for an immediate return to the Premier League, making this a promising move for the young forward.

With the funds from this sale, Leicester will now focus on strengthening their squad.

While signing five players this month may be unrealistic, two additions seem more feasible.

A right winger and a centre-back should be their priorities, as these positions are currently the weakest areas of their team.

With Abdul Fatawu sidelined due to injury, Leicester lacks pace and dynamism on the wing, and a reliable centre-back partner for Wout Faes is essential to improve the defense.
