5 Ideal Leicester transfers ahead of EFL Championship return

Leicester City were – for their second Premier League season in a row – poor defensively, and creatively, and lacked any real guile to hit hard at their opponents. As such, their relegation is unsurprising. Here are five transfers which could change that.

The King Power Club have been poor all season, with some glimmers of hope at the start of the campaign, when Ruud van Nistelrooy first started, and in the last few matches. This inconsistency and inability to get results confirmed Leicester’s relegation into the EFL Championship “straight back down” and into the arms of a hostile football league authority looking to punish the Foxes for their PSR escapades in prior seasons.

At the same time, the team looks set for a major overhaul. Possibly a new head coach, new back-of-house staff, experienced EPL talent exiting, younger stars promoted, and several players likely forced out to give the club PSR headroom for transfers. There will be a lot of work to do in building a team that can challenge at the top and reclaim its place in the Premier League.

In this context, I wanted to look for five transfers LCFC ought to make to improve their side and build a proper mentality for challenging a promotion battle. In doing this, we must first discover where the Foxes need the most attention from what will likely be a dwindled transfer budget.
