Are these Foxes leaving in January so Leicester can sign players?

Judging by Leicester City Football Club's apparent ambitions, the dreadful form of the Foxes team and manager Marti Cifuentes' statements on the January transfer window, signings are wanted. Though, as usual, it's not as simple as that. For the majority of other Premier League and Championship outfits, making one or two additions in the New Year would be relatively straight forward. Sadly the situation is not as easy on Filbert Way. In fact, making unnecessary, ill-advised or anti-restriction transfers could even jeopardise our standing with the English Football League and even the EPL.

If LCFC bosses know that their losses are balanced for a fact, we do desperately require further reinforcements. Therefore, the Filbert Way team are said to want to sell certain Foxes in January so to be able to sign. We ask, are these specific Foxes I shall name leaving? City's Blue Army fan base would be delighted to obtain fees for some of these let downs and unneeded athletes!

Leicester City should look to move on this deadwood in order to acquire fresh talent

Before we begin, let's just read what Cifuentes claimed prior to the market reopening very soon:

"It’s going to be something we discuss with the club. What is important for me is that we are developing into the kind of squad we had in mind.”

But while selling players is under consideration, it’s not out of the question that City will look to strengthen their squad too."

As you can see for yourselves, the former Queens Park Rangers head coach (who previously criticised his men's fragility and work rate) is considering allowing certain footballers to exit. In addition to wanting signings, though, he mentioned making space for City's own prospects.

As for those so-called undesirables whom LCFC could look to discard, I have three in mind. That number could have been far more vast!

Firstly, Patson Daka just hasn't made the grade. Replacing him with an actual goalscorer would be ideal. He's supposedly worth $8 million.

Obviously Oliver Skipp is next up. If Leicester could even generate half of the approximately £20m outlaid, it would be a result.

Victor Kristiansen's value is shockingly at €19.2m. Selling him and acquiring a competent, attacking left back would be a dream come true!
