Leicester City is dominating in the Championship and appears to be on its way to the Premier League. Leading the table after winning 15 of their first 19 games, the Foxes are well on their way to a successful return to the top flight. Still, there is room for improvement during the January transfer window to strengthen their lineup even further.
In a recent match against a tough West Bromwich Albion side, Leicester was pushed to the brink. The game was tied 1-1 after West Brom scored an 89th-minute equalizer, but Leicester secured a hard-fought victory with a last-minute goal from Harry Winks to secure three valuable points.
With the January transfer window just around the corner, Football League World is tracking the latest transfer news and rumors surrounding the league leaders, Leicester City.
One of the players generating interest is Sunderland full-back Hume, who has attracted attention from Leicester City, Burnley, and Leeds United. Hume has been a standout player for Sunderland, starting in every Championship game this season and proving to be versatile in defense.
On the radar at Sunderland is young right-back Timothée Pembélé, making Hume potentially available for a transfer with a talented replacement waiting in the wings.
21-year-old Hume has also been called up to Northern Ireland’s senior team, showing his potential as a top talent. Leicester’s interest in Hume could provide strong competition at right-back.
Leicester has also expressed interest in Middlesbrough loanee Sam Greenwood, who has delivered impressive performances on the left wing this season. With Middlesbrough likely to miss out on promotion, Leicester could offer a compelling opportunity for Greenwood to continue his career.
Furthermore, Leicester forward Kasey McAteer is attracting attention from Premier League clubs Everton and Crystal Palace. Having been with Leicester since childhood, McAteer may play a crucial role in the team’s push for promotion and could consider a move to the Premier League only if presented with an irresistible offer.
