Can a mod sticky this for me please. Thanks. It´s going to be a very busy window for the PREMIERSHIP CHAMPIONS so l thought l´d start the thread off seeing how we are after Benteke. Premier League champions Leicester have made Christian Benteke a transfer target, according to reports. Claudio Ranieri is looking to bolster his squad as the Foxes prepare to make their Champions League bow next season. Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport claim Benteke is one of several striking options being targeted ahead of the transfer window. The Belgium international has struggled at Anfield since his mammoth £32.5m move from Aston Villa.
Leicester City want to strengthen their Premier League-winning squad by signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Thorgan Hazard. The 23-year-old is the brother of Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard. (Het Laatste Nieuws via Daily Express)
We are apparently after Simone Zaza from Juventus who is a hard working striker that fits our mold. We are also after Gianluca Lapadula from Pescara who are in Serie B. Barcelona want Kasper and could offer Marc-Andre ter Stegen who is unsettled there for him. Liverpool want Drinkwater, Arsenal want Kante and Chelsea want our entire squad.
Fast strong player - basically the Algerian Vardy. Is linked with Spurs now and his price has almost trebled - when we were linked with him last season it was for ~£7M now the price is £23M.
I wonder if signing him could sway Mahrez...get his international buddy and have that relationship at club and country level
Only inbound rumours Ive heard is Eden Hazard's brother Thorgan and we still want Aleksandar Dragovic and Ahmed Musa Linked out is half the squad. Schmeichel, Vardy, Kante, Mahrez, Inler
Forgot to include Musa in my roundup - is funny that the guys that were advising him not to move in Jan now are. I haven't read any link with us and Dragovic since Jan - think we are after new targets at CB now.
Musa does look very good. I've only seen YouTube highlights which might be slightly misleading, but he looks quick, strong and versatile. Sign him up!
Players I think will be moved on De Laet, Konchesky, Hammond, Hamer, Lawrence, Kramaric, Wasilewski and Benalouane I think we will be open to offers for Inler, James and Ulloa Schwarzer is retiring and I think everyone else will stay
Chilwell off to Liverpool? Hope not but there maybe something in this as he has failed to sign a new contact I believe.
So who do we need then ? 1. A GK if Schwarzer off. 2. A couple of DEF´s if Was Konch, De laet go. 3. I´d keep Ulloa, but if he moves on we´ll need a towering CF. 4. A DEF MID if Inler´s off & 2 if Kanté goes...
Apparently we have agreed to sign Luis Hernández from Sporting Gijon on a free once his contract ends. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/leicester-...ernandez-agrees-free-agent-move-foxes-1554709 That's one CB in.
Benalouane? Is he out on loan? I have been told by someone connected with the club, that Chilwell is off for £10m. How true this is , I have know idea, but just thought I would mention it
