How many transfers Leicester plan to make in summer market
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers reveals how many transfers the Foxes plan to make in the summer market.
Previously the Leicester boss confirmed aims for the squad when the 2021/22 season is complete. Basically, Rodgers stated that he wants to ‘freshen up’ the roster; in addition, LCFC are set to make signings.
Recently the Northern Irishman explained to media and Foxes supporters that it was difficult for the club to invest during an awkward January window. Funding is constantly mentioned as a reason, along with higher prices. Whether Rodgers is attempting to solicit extra cash for incoming players is unlikely – it just doesn’t seem his style.

Rodgers uses words like “refresh” and phrases such as “shake-up” in order to make the point subtly. What he means is he wants to get rid of some deadwood in the team, as well as replace it with better or consistently performing talent.
What surprised me is the amount of changes that have been proposed: five or six, to be exact. Not to mention the fact that Rodgers verified that he is referring to the King Power starting eleven:
"“We’ve improved the squad, there’s no doubt about that, but we have to improve the team [first XI].“Whether that’s spending more money to get a different level of player in or bringing in a hungry player who wants to prove a point. It’s probably a mixture of both really.”– Brendan Rodgers, Leicester Mercury"
Next match for Leicester City
Randers of Denmark are Leicester’s first opponents in the Europa Conference League. And the first leg takes place on Thursday evening. They could be the only opposition, if the east Midlands side cannot eliminate the Danes. Currently Randers are fifth in the Danish Superliga, an uninspiring position comparatively.

A shock result on aggregate versus the Horses would almost certainly see the Leicester chief sacked. Accountability for another European humiliation would ultimately fall on the former Liverpool gaffer’s shoulders. Younger LCFC fans are already calling for a change at the helm in relatively large numbers on social media.
