A Leicester City transfer target, who would have possibly been acquired during the summer window, has signed a new contract with his current club.

To be frank, Foxes of Leicester has barely had time to consider how amazing it is that, with the usual due diligence, the King Power club could be further improved this summer. We’re busy because of Leicester’s ascension to legitimate top-six Premier League side.

If you disagree with that assertion, see Brendan Rodgers’ statistic of defeating every one of the established big-six teams’ contemporary bosses. Anyway, clever recruitment, splashing the cash and investing in ‘hidden gems’ or ‘ones for the future’ could increase the Foxes’ proficient squad further.

At present, the club and their fans are hopeful of another Champions League run in 2021/22. There is optimism that they could even match the remarkable quarter-finals appearance of 2016/17. A fifth desirable possibility of an FA Cup final has also shown itself. Heady times for the Blue Army, indeed.

One player who the east Midlanders team were apparently targeting won’t be signing for next season, though.

Otavio of Porto is an attacking midfielder – the position Brendan Rodgers most wants to strengthen – and is 26-years-old. The Brazilian was wanted by the Foxes, according to multiple reports, yet his new £50,000-per-week deal will see him remain at Estadio do Dragao for the foreseeable future.
