“Leicester City Transfer SHOCKER: El Khannouss Mega-Deal COLLAPSES, Stunning Replacement Revealed!”
Fresh Leicester City transfer update as sales remain key to unlocking late window signings with two weeks left
Bilal El Khannouss’s future at Leicester City could depend on whether Eberechi Eze seals a £60m move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Crystal Palace are lining up El Khannouss as a possible replacement should they lose Eze to Spurs, and with that transfer appearing close, the Moroccan playmaker’s chances of heading to Selhurst Park are increasing.
Leicester are seeking around £30m for the 21-year-old, who has long been expected to move this summer given his value and proven Premier League quality.
Although linked with numerous clubs in recent months, a departure now looks closer than ever.
El Khannouss has continued to feature for Leicester this season, but he was substituted at half-time against Preston on Saturday after Marti Cifuentes admitted he was “not very happy” with the youngster’s performance, stressing the need for more from his top players.
At the final whistle, El Khannouss took extra time to applaud the travelling fans, staying out longer than most teammates before heading down the tunnel.
Should he depart and City collect the £30m fee, it could pave the way for their first outfield signing of the summer.
So far, player exits have not forced Leicester into the market, with Cifuentes trusting his squad to absorb the losses of Conor Coady and Wilfred Ndidi.
In goal, Jakub Stolarczyk has stepped up following Mads Hermansen’s exit, with Asmir Begovic brought in as backup.
In attacking midfield, options such as Louis Page, Will Alves, and the possibility of Jordan Ayew dropping deeper provide cover, but none can replicate El Khannouss’s creativity. For that reason, a fresh signing may be necessary if the Moroccan departs.
