On top of this, ChronicleLive report a further interest in English attacking-midfielder Maddison. The Foxes are believed to value the creative talent around £60m, although this could drop as the chance to get big money for the player begins to fall. £40-50m is becoming more realistic the longer the move does not materialise.

The Nigerian is not yet linked with a move away. However, both the primary creator and primary progressor of the side are the subject of interest for this upcoming window. It really is not that long away.

Preventing oblivion

Rodgers must either resolve the critical issues at the club, improving the players that are at his disposal and starting to climb the Premier League table, or he must give way for someone who can. Leicester City must work towards keeping Maddison and Ndidi, and possibly extending their contracts.

Such a feat could only be achieved with better performances, an attractive project, and a lot of money. Tielemans will be leaving, and those wages spent on him and saved from Wesley Fofana can help, but a lot of work is still to be done.

Hot. Things to know about transfer target Riccardo Sottil. light

Should the balance be destroyed or not adequately provided depth, the King Power will be heading towards oblivion from either the top flight, or another many years outside of challenging towards the top. For the squad available, this must not be allowed to happen.
