According to reports, Leicester City rejected offers for one of their up-and-coming Foxes. But the player in question may not be the person you are expecting it to be. Offers supposedly emerged via the overly emotional, expectant but ultimately still unprepared Manchester United.
Not to mention a tentative and trepidatious Arsenal under Mikel Arteta making enquiries at King Power Stadium. The target of these so-called superclubs: a teenage LCFC midfielder. What did the Premier League sides offer the East Midlands team? Is the interest all but over now, or will they return? And what do we make of it all?
Leicester City conduct acceptable transfer window with sales exceeding expectations and reasonable signings
Leicester fans were worried heading into the summer. Very worried! Though standout playmaker Bilal El Khannouss made his exit much easier for the Blue Army fan base to handle after he apparently demanded a move.
The former Genk man was even said to threaten the Leicestershire side with a refusal to play if he was made to stay on Filbert Way. Wow. So we are glad he's gone, to put it mildly!
Elsewhere, the recruitment team managed to offload almost everyone we wanted them to. Although Patson Daka remains.
A trio of loanees arrived at LCFC as well: Jordan James, Julian Carranza and Aaron Ramsey. I think they bring respective technical ability, speed and the freshness required.
Foxes fend off interest from Arsenal and Manchester United for rising star Louis Page
One other player who could have reportedly left in the transfer window was Page. The versatile midfielder is another breakout starlet at Leicester this season.

It is easy to see why the City hierarchy chose to turn down bids from the Red Devils and the Gunners. Journalist Pete O'Rourke claims offers actually transpired. Page apparently rejected a professional contract proposal from LCFC recently too.
