January transfers may not be a pressing concern for City, given their strong performance in the Championship. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t be considering potential business opportunities.
Although Leicester City has had a great start to the season, there might still be a few incoming and outgoing transfers in January. While squad depth has been denied by Enzo Maresca, there is an excess of goalkeepers at the club. With the arrival of Mads Hermansen and the emergence of Jakub Stolarczyk, Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen, who were previously higher in the pecking order, may be looking to leave for more playing time and opportunities elsewhere.
Patson Daka’s potential move could be on the horizon, especially with the impending return of Tom Cannon. The only obstacle for Daka leaving in the January window could be the Africa Cup of Nations, as he will be focused on Zambia’s participation in the tournament.
Harry Souttar, who has had limited game-time, was close to leaving in the summer window and may seek regular football elsewhere if his situation doesn’t improve. City could also consider signing a new defender in January due to Callum Doyle’s injury and their lack of left-footed options at the back.
City might also resume their pursuit of a midfielder, especially with Wilfred Ndidi potentially absent for a month while representing Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations.
While January transfers may not be urgently required, City’s recruitment team will likely be strategizing and considering potential moves during the window.
