Leicester City is dominating the Championship, but their January transfer window looks to be a busy one.
In addition to potential outgoings, high-profile signings are rumored for the top-of-the-table side. Enzo Maresca, the Foxes manager, has expressed concern over losing players to the African Cup of Nations as they aim for promotion to the Premier League.
In light of injuries, potential big signings at the King Power Stadium are on the horizon. Leicester has reportedly shown interest in Stefano Sensi from Inter Milan. However, the club must first reduce their squad if they intend to bring in the midfielder this January.
Balancing the budget is crucial for the club after last season’s relegation from the Premier League, which cost them £100 million in revenue. Financial constraints may impact the possibility of any big-money signings this month.
Leicester is currently feeling the impact of losing Wilfred Ndidi to an injury for three months. With Ndidi’s contract expiring at the end of the season and interest in him from big clubs, the pursuit of Sensi as a potential long-term replacement makes sense.
The club recently recalled Luke Thomas from his loan spell at Sheffield United to strengthen their options at left-back. His potential sale could help raise funds for new signings.
Meanwhile, Leicester’s Harry Souttar is reportedly a target for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia for a January transfer. The 6’7″ centre-back has struggled for game time this season, and the club may look to recoup some of the transfer fee following interest from the Saudi club.
