Leicester City transfer latest £10M Deal for January

As the transfer window looms just days away from opening, Championship leaders Leicester City could find themselves just as active as any other club come the New Year, with both arrivals and departures potentially on the horizon.

Dennis Praet’s tenure at Leicester City since his arrival in 2019 has been a tumultuous journey. Despite only accumulating over 1,000 minutes once in his first season in England, the 29-year-old’s potential return to a former club is now a realistic prospect. Praet’s loan spell at Torino in Italy during the previous season yielded positive results, with 23 appearances in Serie A. Although Torino’s initial pursuit of the midfielder fell through, recent reports suggest a potential rekindling of their interest. With Praet’s limited playing time at Leicester this season, a probable departure to Torino seems increasingly likely.

In a bid to fortify their squad, Leicester is reportedly vying with the likes of West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Inter Milan for the talented Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley. Sky Sports has linked O’Riley with a move to Serie A, potentially overshadowing Leicester’s aspirations. Amidst these discussions, Celtic has demonstrated staunch efforts to retain the services of the Fulham academy graduate, setting a substantial £25 million price tag on his acquisition.

The potential departure of Dennis Praet may not significantly impact Leicester’s plans, but the situation is distinct for Kelechi Iheanacho. The striker’s noteworthy contributions, with six goals and two assists in 19 league appearances this season, have drawn attention. Continued speculation has surrounded Iheanacho, both during Leicester’s Premier League tenure and following their relegation. Aston Villa has emerged as a potential suitor for the former Manchester City player, with reports suggesting a relatively modest £5-10 million might secure his transfer. Complicating matters, faltering contract talks between Iheanacho and Leicester City have provided an enticing opportunity for Aston Villa to pursue his services under the guidance of Unai Emery.

As January approaches, Leicester City finds itself at the center of potential transfer movements, suggesting an eventful period ahead for the club in the upcoming transfer window.
