“Leicester City DESPERATELY Chasing 26-Year-Old Attacking Midfield GENIUS in SHOCK Transfer Bombshell!”

Leicester City eye late summer reinforcements with Calvin Stengs among potential targets

Leicester City have been quiet in the transfer market this summer, adding just one new face so far.

 

Veteran goalkeeper Asmir Begovic arrived on a free transfer to provide cover between the posts, and with only a week left until deadline day, that remains their sole piece of business.

 

Uncertainty behind the scenes has made life challenging at the King Power Stadium, yet Marti Cifuentes has guided his side to a respectable start, taking six points from their opening three fixtures.

 

After a setback against Preston North End, the Foxes bounced back with a narrow victory over Charlton Athletic at the weekend.

 

As the window nears its conclusion, another potential signing has emerged. Dutch outlet De Telegraaf reports that Leicester are among the clubs interested in Calvin Stengs, the Feyenoord playmaker.

Stengs endured an injury-hit 2024/25 campaign and now finds himself slipping down the pecking order under new boss Robin van Persie.

 

A move away before the deadline looks increasingly likely, and Leicester could be one of the clubs to offer him a fresh start. Newly promoted Serie A outfit Pisa SC are also keeping tabs on the 26-year-old.

 

Stengs’ career began at AZ Alkmaar, where he shone in the Eredivisie and earned his Netherlands debut.

 

A transfer to OGC Nice in France did not unfold as hoped, though his loan stint at Royal Antwerp revitalised his reputation.

 

In 2023, he returned home to join Feyenoord, impressing at first before injuries halted his momentum.

 

Despite his recent dip in opportunities, Stengs remains a versatile and inventive midfielder, capable of operating centrally or on the right wing.

 

His profile may prove particularly useful for Leicester given the uncertainty surrounding Bilal El Khannouss.

 

The highly rated youngster has been tipped for a Premier League move before the window closes, though no deal has yet materialised.

In El Khannouss’ absence, teenager Louis Page has broken into the first team, starting in the No.10 role against Charlton.

 

Stengs would likely compete for that position, though he could also be deployed out wide if Abdul Fatawu departs.

 

Cifuentes is expected to seek reinforcements in several attacking areas before the deadline, but with just one arrival confirmed so far, Leicester supporters will remain cautious.

 

The club’s lack of activity suggests that any further additions will likely come late in the window, leaving fans to wait and see whether Stengs – or anyone else – joins the Foxes before time runs out.
