Price-tag of Leicester target revealed as competition emerges
Leicester City are about to sell one winger, Bartosz Kapustka to Legia Warsaw. Now another needs to be signed, with David Brooks an apparent top target.
Liverpool have already beaten Leicester City to Greek international left-back Kostas Tsimikas, who signed for the Reds from Olympiacos on a permanent deal. Although the Foxes still own three senior left-sided fullbacks – Ben Chilwell, as of now, Luke Thomas and Christian Fuchs – it appears they will lose out on targets to the most significant of Premier League clubs. Even if only back-up status is offered. I suppose the option of moving James Justin over is another the East Midlands side possess.
Leicester City Transfer news and rumours
If you regularly read my work or the writing of our wonderful blogging staff at Foxes of Leicester, you’ll be well read in the vacant necessities of the Foxes squad, the apparent budget, and not to mention the linked targets.
Many wingers are connected with a supposed move to Filbert Way; yet it is unlikely that more than one medium-level profile winger will sign. City seem to be priced out of obtaining some defenders they wanted, such as Burnley’s James Tarkowski and Juventus’ Merih Demiral. A striker search is also suggested in various reports.

Reverting to the initial issue mentioned – huge outfits managing to lure players from the King Power team’s grasp – Jurgen Klopp’s side are apparently plotting a £35 million bid for Foxes target David Brooks. This is another blow for City who should arguably focus their attention on Brooks to ensure at least one major, desired switch this summer.
