Leicester City is gearing up for the January transfer window, with manager Enzo Maresca expressing the desire to strengthen the squad. However, their plans are hindered by the fact that the squad is already at full capacity, making it difficult to bring in new players without first offloading some from the current roster.
Maresca acknowledged the need for improvements in the squad and revealed that discussions have taken place with the recruitment team about potential targets. However, with all 25 spots in the squad filled, any new signings would require existing players to make way. Maresca emphasized the need for players to leave in order to create space for new additions.
The team is particularly in need of a left-sided defender and may also be looking to bolster their midfield. The pursuit of James McAtee during the summer window was indicative of their desire to strengthen the team, and with several players potentially on the way out, there may be room for new signings in these positions.
The most likely candidates to depart include Patson Daka and Daniel Iversen, with others like Danny Ward and Harry Souttar also potentially leaving. However, Souttar has expressed his intention to stay and fight for his place in the squad. As Leicester City looks to make moves in the January transfer window, their ability to do so will largely depend on player departures.
