Leicester interested in William Saliba and a Dennis Praet update

Leicester City are apparently interested in signing Arsenal’s William Saliba. Meanwhile there is an update on Foxes midfielder Dennis Praet’s future.

While we await the transfer window to open on June 10, there are still transactions being made. Contract renewals can be completed, along with free agents allowed to find new clubs.

Leicester may seem to be moving a bit slowly to tie up some of these; whilst other, rival outfits are making waves. Foxes or Leicester is not claiming that nothing is occurring backstage at King Power Stadium. Rumours have increased with regard to the East Midlands side in the last few days – so there may even be acquisitions ready for the opening date next month.

In recent times, the Foxes have been connected with admiring these players: James Garner of Manchester United, Burnley’s Maxwel Cornet, promising Chelsea man Levi Colwill, Empoli midfielder Kristjan Asllani and Houssem Aouar, currently at Olympique Lyonnais.

The latest Leicester-link is to William Saliba, suggest L’Equipe; the centreback’s parent club is Arsenal, yet he’s been loaned to Olympique Marseille of late. Impressively, Saliba earned the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award for a very notable campaign.

Mikel Arteta is said to desire the defender back with the Gunners next season; though the athlete supposedly fancies staying at OM. He is an unlikely incoming signing for LCFC.

An update on Leicester City loanee Dennis Praet

I won’t go into great deal about Praet, as anyone who regularly reads FoL articles will know that we believe he probably should’ve been on Filbert Way this term. And the fact that he was needed due to thinning central midfield options for Brendan Rodgers was far from ideal.

Nevertheless, the Northern Irishman knew best, and the Belgian was shipped out to Torino temporarily. Now the 28-year-old is thought to want to remain in Italy, so officials from the Foxes and the Bull shall meet to discuss a potential deal soon.
