Enzo Maresca is feeling the pressure to make moves in the January transfer window, but he knows that his squad does not have room for any significant changes. Adapting your squad to fit the style of play, like Leicester does, is essential. However, having full cover in every position at Championship level is difficult, especially with players in long term deals and not easily sellable.
Currently, Maresca is facing a dilemma similar to Brendan Rodgers, who was eventually sacked. Building a squad with a careful hand is crucial, and at this point, Maresca does not have an ideal squad. With four loan players in the first team squad, it’s challenging to create space for new players. Additionally, the Leicester u.21 team makes justifying a transfer for a player who cannot secure a spot in the first team even harder.
It’s clear that Leicester is looking to avoid desperate signings of players who cannot make it into the first team. TCF has doubts about the potential signing of Stefano Sensi, and the focus is on looking at the academy for new players. The goal is to move a few players out and bring in fresh faces who can easily settle into the first eleven and make an impact when called upon.
