Fans who attend the King Power Stadium as well as away matches will tell you that a rightwinger has been required since the end of the Riyad Mahrez era. Rodgers wants a centreback; injuries to James Justin and persistent problems for Ricardo Pereira mean a new fullback is necessary, too.

He needs an extra left-back to come in. Height is needed through a centre-half; I assume this is a partial reference to defending corners.
