Confusion is often prevalent in the midst of a convoluted and desperate summer transfer window. Teams' seasons typically depend on whether or not a squad has been trimmed neatly, along with strengthened sufficiently. That's why Leicester City's Blue Army fan base are currently a bit confused, annoyed and at their limits. It's a very slow offseason on Filbert Way. In fact, I'm wrong. To correct myself - it's silent as a mouse at King Power Stadium!
While the Foxes supporters would much prefer to retain their favourite and prominent players, we also understand the club's certain need to rid some high wages from the books. Not to mention hopefully making a bit of profit on one or two of the best the Leicestershire roster has to offer. The East Midlanders' No.1 goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen, is definitely a standout Fox who could go. So too is attacking midfielder Bilal El Khannouss.
A few significant sides, including Arsenal, Everton and Nottingham Forest (it pains Foxes of Leicester to say), are said to want to sign the Dane and the Morocco international respectively. The claim is that Leicester bosses probably value Hermansen more highly than what is suggested in the media. Meanwhile El Khannouss could also be further expensive to prise away from LCFC's clutches. Let's see the latest report.
Nottingham Forest may have to pay a lot more than advertised for Leicester City star
Leicester's fairly outstanding playmaker is valued by the City powers-that-be at approximately £40 million. That is quite a lot more than the original purported and figurative fee.
"Leicester value El Khannouss at around £40m"NFN
£21m feels a rather low figure for somebody of El Khannouss' ability. Following that unlikely assertion emerging, Leicester Mercury then claimed only 'offers of closer to £30m' would do the trick. Yet £40m is likely closer, as per this article from Nottingham Forest News, of all places.
