Goalkeepers

Kasper Schemeichel (31) and Eldin Jakupovic (33) are the only senior goalkeepers left at the club after Ben Hamer’s move to Huddersfield. Should Jakupovic be happy to play second fiddle to Schmeichel you shouldn’t expect much activity in this department.

However the Foxes were linked with Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin recently, but that seems unlikely now as Real Madrid have signed the 19-year-old goalkeeper according to reports by Marca.

Defenders

Leicester have signed two defenders this summer and strong rumours are coming from multiple sources that the Foxes are looking to add to the signings of Pereira and Jonny Evans (30). With Maguire, Evans and Wes Morgan (34) as the Foxes main centre backs.

Yohan Benalouane is reportedly unhappy and wants to move and another centre back could be on their way into the King Power Stadium with development squad player Sam Hughes hoping to force his way into the first team squad.

Lokomotiv Moscow defender Solomon Kvirkvelia has been linked with the midlands club again after previously been linked in January by the Sun. The 25-year-old is thought to be keen to move to the Premier League with Lokomotiv Moscow thought to value the Georgian international at around £18 million.

After the signing of right back Ricardo Pereira it seems the full back positions are well-balanced with Danny Simpson (31) competing with Pereira for the right back position with Chilwell and Christian Fuchs (32) fighting it out for the left back position.

However recently speculation is linking the Foxes to another left back in the shape of German international Marvin Plattenhardt, and Jordan Lukaku (younger brother of Romelu Lukaku) of Lazio, with the Leicester Mercury reporting Leicester being in ‘pole position’ to sign the Belgium international. Therefore leaving the future of Fuchs in doubt.
