Fox wants transfer so Leicester must sign another midfielder in Jan'

A media outlet has supposedly revealed that a Leicester City player who seemed to be in manager Marti Cifuentes' plans wants to leave the East Midlands outfit. As a matter of fact, fans of the Foxes have been warned that this particular Fox could leave for a good while now. Basically, (seemingly unfounded) rumours and hearsay have been prevalent about this athlete over the previous few transfer windows.

Yet nothing has really transpired and the 26-year-old remained on City's roster. He was subsequently used here and there by a revolving door of different LCFC head coaches. Although, I believe the current Leicester boss does rate this baller; there is consequently a place for him in the Catalonian's side. Or a regularly available spot at least exists on the substitute's bench for the footballer in question.

In the meantime the professional, who takes home an astonishing, reported £80,000-per-week, is said to be wanted by other teams who play in several of Europe's top five divisions. Like I mentioned earlier, the Leicester faithful generally expected a departure; and wouldn't have been too bothered about it either judging by form and sentiment. But if Harry Winks is still exhiled from any activity at King Power Stadium and beyond, the person I am referring to would be an ideal placeholder or enabler for another player's advancement.

Leicester City conundrum involving Boubakary Soumare, Harry Winks and Jordan James has ready resolution

Winks is in the wilderness or likely to be sold, so let's forget him. Oliver Skipp has solidified his role, so that's one midfield spot taken. Yet the Tottenham Hotspur alum needs a partner.

However, I would rather James be deployed higher, ultimately in a No.10 capacity. Therefore having Soumare return from injury would have been handy in partnering Skipp, despite apparent interest.

"TuttoSport – relayed by Tuttomercatoweb, report that the midfielder wants to leave the Foxes and has expressed his transfer desire to the club already.

He is now seen as an attractive opportunity by Torino, who want to sign him this month. There’s confidence in Turin that given the player’s transfer desire and contract situation, a deal can easily be done.

Torino will want a bargain, although no figures are shared in the report."

Sport Witness

Should the Frenchman depart, I have a recommendation for the gaffer. Leicester should then definitely sign or loan a prerequisite defensive midfielder to allow James's progress up the pitch. Alternatively, simply recall the promising Sammy Braybrooke!
