Foxes fans will surely be delighted that their troubled club have not given up hope that the irreplaceable will be replaced next summer. Of course, I am referring to iconised Fox Jamie Vardy. The famed centre forward left the East Midlands at the end of last season for pastures new. Although, he hasn't found his latest home yet either.
Nevertheless, a reliable source for all things football in Leicestershire has given a telling update amid other worries. You see, City have a massively bloated and unsatisfactory squad at present. The roster is generally good enough to escape the dreaded Championship and return to the Premier League. Though it requires a severe trim.
Irrespective of whether East Midlands recruitment bosses manage to offload the stars and backup personnel necessary to buy, Leicester are said to be still actively looking to sign a new striker for Marti Cifuentes. In addition to that prospect, LCFC prospects might perhaps get further chances under the Catalan.
Foxes youth to be handed opportunities under Marti Cifuentes
While at Queens Park Rangers, Cifuentes was known to develop, trust and deploy exciting young Rs footballers. The hope, and signals, are that a similar approach will be employed on Filbert Way.
To be fair, Leicester may have to trust their youngsters because they are apparently cash-strapped. Nonetheless, the ex-QPR gaffer plans to look 'in-house' whilst building his own City vision. That update will be music to Bade Aluko, Jake Evans, Louis Page and Jeremy Monga's ears.
Leicester City aren't finished looking for new centre forward
First of all though, this reportedly 30-man squad must be attended to. When that happens is anyone's guess. But, optimistically, Leicester Mercury suggest LCFC aim to bring in a striker regardless of other pressing matters.

Leicester will 'make an exception' when it comes to getting a goalscorer. Although we have been badly run in certain areas, I admire the commitment there.
