Twelve Deals Leicester City Might Complete Before Transfer Deadline Day
A lot of activity could unfold at the King Power Stadium before Friday night's transfer deadline, with potential transfers and loans both in and out.
With only four days remaining in the transfer window, Leicester City remains active, with several potential deals on the horizon.
The club is keen to bring in new signings to provide Steve Cooper and his squad with the quality needed to secure their Premier League status.
However, some roster adjustments might be necessary to fit everyone into the 25-man squad limit.
Both incoming and outgoing transfers are expected. Currently, Leicester City appears focused on signing Bilal El Khannouss, a 20-year-old Moroccan international who has impressed at Belgian side Genk.
Although reports indicate Genk is asking for €25m (£21m), the need for a creative midfielder remains evident.
Despite having Facundo Buonanotte and other versatile players like Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Leicester’s recent games have seen Wilfred Ndidi filling the number 10 role, highlighting the need for a dedicated creative option.
Additionally, Leicester is looking to bolster their striking options. Jamie Vardy, though trusted by Cooper, is 37, and the manager has acknowledged that Vardy’s weekly participation is uncertain.
With Patson Daka sidelined due to ankle surgery, a new striker is a priority.
Leicester had previously bid for Fotis Ioannidis of Panathinaikos, a big Greek forward whose goal-scoring record last season was impressive. Ioannidis could provide the different attacking option Leicester needs.
