We’re past the halfway point of the January transfer window and Leicester City is making slow progress. So far, the only player added to the squad is Luke Thomas, who returned from an unsuccessful loan spell at Sheffield United. The main focus is on offloading players to generate funds and reduce the wage bill, parroting last year’s strategy that did not yield much success. Manager Enzo Maresca has reiterated the need to sell before new signings can be made, while emphasizing that quality players are needed to bolster the team’s depth. There are doubts about the timing of this statement, especially given how late it came into the transfer window. With the lack of progress in offloading players, concerns are rising about the squad’s ability to compete in the Premier League next season. Despite a promising start, the financial challenges faced by the club are hampering efforts to bolster the team. The situation is further exacerbated by the reluctance of other clubs to make bids for the players on the transfer list. With time running out in the transfer window, it remains to be seen if Leicester City will be able to secure new signings and address the team’s needs.
