Leicester City are supposedly interested in signing Fiorentina’s Jonathan Ikone. Is the winger heading to King Power Stadium? The Foxes still require forward reinforcements after the questionable addition of Jordan Ayew from Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, a fullback conundrum is now plaguing LCFC boss Steve Cooper’s plans. Will Leicester fans get their way with the eventual inclusion of Portugal international Ricardo Pereira? Or will Victor Kristiansen and James Justin maintain their respective starting roles? This is now one of the manager’s most pressing matters to deal with.
And there could be an exit on the cards in the east Midlands. A significant sale is expected on Filbert Way to assist with resolving Profit and Sustainability Rule issues. It’ll be a sad moment if one of City’s standout stars are allowed to leave for financial reasons. Although, it is vital to ensure no further punishments other than the two points deductions forecasted are incurred. So, Which player may be sold to ease problems?
Foxes eye Jonathan Ikone of Fiorentina
We all know that further firepower is required at the King Power. When the Leicester City side travel to difficult Premier League grounds, capable goalscorers are even more essential. Unconvincing backup striker Patson Daka was recently rendered unavailable due to injury for a good few weeks at least, according to his gaffer.
Will Jamie Vardy receive enough help from Tom Cannon and Jordan Ayew? I am totally unconvinced, to be absolutely frank. To be fair to Cannon, he’s not been tested fairly by head coaches so far. Therefore the Leicestershire outfit have plenty of reasons to target another satisfactory attacker. But don’t get your hopes up, Blue Army!
However, optimism did arise on Bank Holiday Monday in England with the reappearance of a link to Ikone. LCFC are being led in the race by Wolverhampton Wanderers, if reporting is accurate. Although, the La Viola man has a record not dissimilar to Ayew, just to add a sprinkle of pessimism that us Foxes fans enjoy.
Fullback puzzle appears to puzzle Steve Cooper
Kristiansen has been welcomed back into the Foxes fold by the latest management team. To the surprise of some supporters. The incorporation of the Dane meant one of Justin and Pereira would be omitted. The Englishman won the selection battle.
Yet, following uneven displays from the chosen pair, the Leicester faithful have called for the Portuguese. Which defender combination would you choose? Tell us in our X comments.
Tom Cannon update
Has the potential LCFC leaver been named?:
“Luton Town have joined other teams in the pursuit of Leicester City forward Tom Cannon.
This is according to Alan Nixon, who believes the Hatters are just one of a number of Championship sides that have taken an interest in the Irishman.
The striker is available for a permanent move away from the King Power Stadium after seemingly being deemed surplus to requirements by the Foxes.
Despite his potential, Cannon doesn’t seem to be a part of Steve Cooper’s plans moving forward, with Jordan Ayew coming in as an alternative striker option.”
