“Leicester City’s SHOCKING Move to Snag England’s ‘WORLD-CLASS’ 35-Cap Superstar for FREE – You Won’t Believe Who!”
Despite being in search of a new manager, Leicester City have not allowed that to hinder their player recruitment efforts as preparations for pre-season get underway.
Managerial Uncertainty at Leicester City
Following Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League, Ruud van Nistelrooy was relieved of his duties just nine weeks into his tenure, creating fresh uncertainty around who will be handed the reins at the King Power Stadium.
Several names have surfaced as potential replacements, including Chris Wilder and Sean Dyche, but the overall approach has drawn criticism.
Former Leicester player Matt Piper did not hold back in his assessment of the club’s handling of recent events.
He said: “Constantly switching between managers and short-term appointments reflects the same mismanagement fans have criticised in recent seasons.
It feels unprofessional, rushed, and uninspired. There’s no standout name in the mix to get excited about—at least not for me.”
This sentiment seems to echo among the fan base, many of whom are growing frustrated with the lack of a clear vision.
Questions remain about why a decision regarding Van Nistelrooy’s future was made so late, leaving little time for a smooth transition.
Transfer Activity and Squad Planning Continue
Despite the off-field uncertainty, Leicester City are moving ahead with their recruitment plans. The Foxes are reportedly considering a move for free agent Jack Kingdon, provided the budget allows for it.
In addition to signing new players, retaining young talent is a priority. However, 16-year-old Louis Page has reportedly turned down a professional contract, potentially signalling more concern around youth development and player retention.
Still, there may be a glimmer of optimism for supporters as Leicester have been linked with a notable name.
Foxes Eyeing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
According to Turkish outlet Haber Turk, Leicester are eyeing a move for Besiktas midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The former Arsenal and Liverpool man could be available for free if the Turkish club follows through with plans to terminate his contract.
The 31-year-old, who has been capped 35 times for England, featured 20 times for Besiktas last season, scoring once. His campaign was marred by injury, which limited his impact in Turkey.
Though newly-promoted Burnley are also said to be interested, Oxlade-Chamberlain’s potential availability on a free transfer could make him an appealing option for Leicester—especially given their financial constraints. However, his current wages of £69,000 per week could pose a challenge.
Once praised as “brilliant” by pundit Paul Merson, Oxlade-Chamberlain may still have something to offer, and Leicester could provide him the platform for a fresh start—if terms can be agreed.
