How Leicester City can beat Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur to a defensive transfer target. However, it won’t be easy to secure Merih Demiral’s services.

The need for a centre-back is over at Leicester City; that actually goes for the time when all three first choice City men in that role are available.

Although Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu haven’t been collectively fit together for very long. And the Frenchman is currently sidelined so maybe another centre-half isn’t a bad idea.

Either way, the Foxes are apparently once again monitoring €35 million-rated Merih Demiral of Juventus, according to reports carried by Leicestershire Live.

If the King Power club are determined to start acquiring top players who are admired by the best clubs rather than only developing more affordable talent, they must offer wages and bids to match sides like Spurs and the Reds. Those two outfits are said to be interested in Demiral as well – which usually means the Foxes will miss out on another incoming asset.

Yet, an element which could turn the potential summer situation for Leicester, is of course their qualifying for the Champions League. If this occurs, we will begin to see higher quality, already proven signings on arrive on Filbert Way. Maybe then, with other squads’ glittering options, the decision would favour for the Foxes.

Elsewhere Youri Tielemans is receiving praise after his great play of late; Tielemans has been pulling strings in his own half and in and around the opposition’s penalty area. Funnily enough, Foxes of Leicester labelled the player the “complete midfielder” in the last week, with Sky Sports also handing the exact same compliment to the Belgian star.

Sky noted that the Fox is thriving in a deeper role for the east Midlands team; within the article on the incredibly mature 23-year-old, Brendan Rodgers hailed Tielemans’ football brain. Another point made was that it was the latter’s quick-thinking which led to a short corner being dispatched by Kelechi Iheanacho against Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup.
