Leeds United, Everton and Besiktas fans - prepare to be upset! That's because there is an update from Leicester City regarding a player I'm sure they'd like to sign (on paper, anyway). White, Toffees and supporters in Turkey will probably not like this transfer hint from the East Midlands one little bit. Although, I can assure them that the LCFC player they wish to sign is gifted - but also particularly frustrating. Let's waste no time and discuss the situation.
Foxes squad trimming scenario
We all know Leicester bosses want to offload a few players of varying degrees of quality. Conor Coady and Wilfred Ndidi have gone so far.
Now we are braced for more prominent ballers to depart. That upper echelon exodus would potentially include Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss.
Defender James Justin is another on the list of possible Leicester leavers. Though, as I previously implied, Justin is a polarising character for the City faithful.
The right back is clearly an excellent athlete - but can be full of in-game faults and imperfections. In fact, Justin is one of the players whom fans blamed most of all for a poor season in defence.
Yet the England international was a partial scapegoat with Victor Kristiansen and Coady escaping similar criticism from all concerned, apart from Foxes of Leicester! So would selling Justin be a blessing in disguise?

The trio of sides chasing Justin will secure a great signing, for all intents and purposes. Albeit he'd be a better performer if those outfits competed in their respective country's tier two. The Premier League felt far too demanding for the right back last season.
Nevertheless, the 27-year-old could indeed be staying in the Championship. It appears that Cifuentes rates him and possibly wants him to remain a Fox:
"James Justin will be available for the game. His was just a knock and he’s alright and has been training well."
