One exit from Leicester City Football Club been confirmed by the official channels. Although the deal actually intensifies the need to add players in two areas this winter. With only a few days remaining to do so in the transfer market, things are looking rather bleak at King Power Stadium. In the meantime, interim Foxes head coach Andy King has been speaking to the media as the gaffer for the first time since his brief summer stint. King spoke on a wide range of topics. However, his words on his love for and commitment to LCFC were received with pleasure and respect by the Blue Army fan base. The former Fox's integrity in admittng problems in LE2 has also been praised.

Leicester City confirm outgoing transfer

Midfield anchor and occasional ball-carrier, when he could be bothered, Boubakary Soumare is no longer a Leicester player. All the God-given talent in the world couldn't mask a difficile in adapting for the Frenchman.

Rob Tanner, the respected The Athletic journalist, actually revealed that Soumare always wanted to 'make it work' in Leicestershire. The former Lille star's daughter was even born in the famous English city.

Yet, sadly, the scenario did not come to fruition for the one-time Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC youth. He has been sold to Qatari side Al-Duhail for an undisclosed fee.

Andy King does not desire for Leicester City's problems to go unacknowledged

The City supporters are hugely behind King; a man who lifted the English Football League One, Championship and Premier League trophies with the outfit. Similarly, the retired pro is definitely focused on getting LCFC out of this silly mess they are in on the pitch, if not off it.

In his eyes, he would have preferred to be given the honour in differing, more positive circumstances. Although, encouragingly, he wants to discuss the club's troubles:

"It's almost a little bittersweet because I'm ultimately stood there because the club isn't in a position where we want to be.

"And I don't think we can we can get away from that. I actually think there needs to be an acknowledgement of that."
