“SHOCKING King Power Stadium Exposé: Jaw-Dropping Transfer Fee LEAKED by Secret Bank Loan—Louis Page Sidelined for MONTHS!”

The transfer window has closed, leaving Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes with a settled squad until at least January, barring any unexpected sales to markets still open in Europe or the Middle East.

With the dust settling after deadline day, here’s a round-up of developments around the King Power Stadium.

Hermansen deal details

Financial records have revealed the true value of Mads Hermansen’s transfer to West Ham. Leicester secured an upfront bank loan against the instalments owed by the Hammers, a common practice used previously in major deals like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s move to Chelsea.

West Ham will pay £3.78m annually to Macquarie Bank until 2028, confirming the base fee at £15.1m, with the total potentially rising to £18m through add-ons. A sell-on clause means Brondby, Hermansen’s former club, will also profit from the transfer.

Louis Page’s international duty

Young midfielder Louis Page is currently away with England’s Under-18s in Spain. This squad will represent England at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar this November, meaning Page could miss up to a month of Leicester action if selected.

With new arrivals Aaron Ramsey and Jordan James boosting midfield depth, City are expected to allow him to feature for his country.

Monga’s rapid rise

Jeremy Monga, initially called up to England’s Under-17s, received a surprise promotion to the Under-19s due to injuries and impressed in a 2-0 win over Ukraine.

His progression highlights Leicester’s growing influence in the England youth set-up, with players also represented in the U16, U17, U18 and U21 squads.

First-team regulars Jannik Vestergaard, Jordan James, Patson Daka, Jordan Ayew, Page, Monga and Ben Nelson are all away on international duty.

Alves’ debut at Huddersfield

Deadline-day loanee Alves made his first appearance for Huddersfield in their 6-2 EFL Trophy win over Newcastle’s Under-21s.

Coming on in the second half, the 20-year-old played as a central attacking midfielder, showing flashes of quality despite a nervy start.

Form players and challenges

Hamza Choudhury has impressed recently, excelling at right-back in back-to-back clean sheets against Charlton and Birmingham after a mixed Carabao Cup display.

Ricardo Pereira scored against Birmingham, but Choudhury’s form should keep him in the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Bobby De Cordova-Reid is back in training after injury but faces stiff competition for the right-wing berth left open by Kasey McAteer’s sale.

With Abdul Fatawu the first choice, De Cordova-Reid must prove himself against rivals Silko Thomas, Wanya Marcal and Jake Evans.

Next fixture

After the international break, Leicester face Oxford United on September 13 in their first competitive clash for over 31 years.

Oxford, struggling in the relegation zone after three early defeats, managed a draw against Coventry last weekend.

Leicester, in strong form, could go top of the Championship with victory if other results involving Middlesbrough, Preston, West Brom, and Derby go their way.
