Leicester City Football Club aren't exactly languishing in 13th place in the English Football League Championship table. Yet this relative sleeping dragon must be awoken before another campaign passes them by. As the readership and the vast majority of neutrals surely know and understand, the Foxes powers-that-be are in a precarious position regarding any desire they may have to spend. Essentially LCFC can only strengthen their rather mismatched squad via loans and free transfers. Dwelling on the reasons for these difficulties is not something palatable to Leicester's Blue Army for obvious reasons.
Moving on; some real gems can actually come out of those scenarios: loanee Jordan James must be the best-ever temporary Fox - without a doubt. Making the Wales international a permanent fixture is the prime aim (well, it certainly should be) at King Power Stadium. Though movement is slow on Filbert Way; relinquishing Wout Faes was a wise move, even if temporarily for now. At the moment, however, nothing feels imminent in LE2. Although, it is said that Ibrahim Diabate is close to joining up with Marti Cifuentes' side. Only a photo of the striker holding an LCFC shirt will convince us anything is genuinely occurring. Yet things are happening elsewhere with a distinct City vibe.
Beloved ex-Leicester City boss Martin O’Neill pursues former Fox signing in Tawanda Maswanhise after technically inheriting one-time City manager Brendan Rodgers' roster at Celtic
Up in Scotland, events are shaping O'Neill's second Celtic tenure in a couple of months. What a peculiar situation the typically organised and efficient Hoops are in this season! The once City gaffer has pretty much had a Rodgers team under his tutelage for two interim capacities in a single term.
Those appointments were sandwiched in between Wilfried Nancy poorly steering a ship which was designed and built by the most recently departed Leicester chief out of the two Northern Irishman. Now O'Neill reportedly wants a Fox alum:
"Maswanhise’s name has come back into focus after Motherwell’s Scottish Cup win over Ross County. The 23-year-old scored the winning goal at Fir Park, a match watched closely by O’Neill and Mark Fotheringham from the stands. Their presence did not go unnoticed and added fuel to existing speculation."Celts are Here
