Report: Leicester Linked with 15-Goal Striker Sold by Arsenal Last Summer
Leicester City Climb Out of Relegation Zone with 2-1 Victory Over Tottenham
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City ended their seven-game Premier League losing streak with a spirited comeback victory, showcasing grit and determination to secure all three points in the capital.
The win has brought renewed optimism to the King Power Stadium.
Despite the improved atmosphere, Van Nistelrooy is well aware that the squad still requires reinforcements before the transfer window closes on February 3rd.
Recent reports suggest the club is eyeing a potential striker from the European market.
Leicester Linked to Mika Biereth
According to the Daily Mail, Leicester are being touted as a potential destination for Monaco striker Mika Biereth.
The Danish forward, formerly with Arsenal, moved to Sturm Graz last summer, where he scored an impressive 11 goals in 16 league games.
His form prompted Monaco to secure his services for £11 million earlier this month, and he has already made an impact, scoring against Stade Rennais.
While Biereth won’t be joining Leicester in the current window—or perhaps even in the summer—he is a player to monitor for the future.
With 15 goals this season across two clubs, the striker appears destined for a Premier League return at some stage, having previously spent time in Arsenal and Fulham’s youth setups.
Leicester’s Priority: A Winger
Although Leicester could use additional firepower upfront, the immediate focus should be on signing a winger.
With Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka, and Odsonne Edouard already in the squad, the striker position is relatively well-covered.
Leicester’s lack of pace on the flanks is a pressing issue, and limited finances mean prioritizing a winger is essential.
One target is Troyes winger Cyriaque Irie, who is having a strong season in France’s second division. However, RC Lens currently leads the race for his signature.
