Leicester target another in demand ‘keeper for summer transfer
According to a report, Leicester City are targeting another in demand goalkeeper for a potential summer transfer. That man is Preston North End stopper Freddie Woodman.
Earlier in the week, FoL talked about the apparently serious interest in Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson. The King Power club are supposedly preparing a bid and Patterson might perhaps become the initial signing of summer 2023.
Now LCFC are supposedly monitoring the rated Woodman of Preston. This story claims that Leicester join Rangers and Leeds United in pursuit of the ‘keeper.

Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City press conference ahead of Southampton match
Leicester sit a disappointing and worrying 14th place in the Premier League at present. The east Midlands side are just three points away from the relegation zone. The Foxes do, however, have a game in hand over rivals for the drop, Everton. An alarming campaign, indeed. And it has been illustrated that, in fact, Rodgers was correct in his assessment that the squad requires drastic overhaul.
The Northern Irishman signalled as much to the LCFC chairman many times in less than subtle yet respectful comments during press conferences. New blood has entered the roster recently, though the true extent of acquisition and loanee quality has not been revealed at this stage.
Speaking of pressers, the gaffer of the King Power outfit spoke on Thursday ahead of the Southampton clash. Leicester play the Saints this coming Saturday afternoon at Saint Mary’s Stadium. The fixture couldn’t have more riding on it for a bottom of the table contest, with both worried about the way their respective campaigns have developed.

When asked about the South Coast outfit, the former Liverpool, Swansea City and Celtic boss explained that the opposition have reverted to ‘basics’, as well as increasingly relying on experience. Rodgers was impressed with Ruben Selles’ men versus Chelsea and Leeds. And the gaffer is well aware that a ‘physical battle’ awaits LCFC.
