We have two stories to bring to Leicester City's Blue Army fan base's attention on this beautifully bright Monday Bank Holiday in the United Kingdom. First of all, it's another transfer rumour story - quelle surprise! But this time there is some notable traction and a decent source, it isn't just profligate and unfounded speculation. Sky Sports have even said there is truth to this one (yeah, that's right!). All will be explained immediately as City conduct talks to sign a versatile star.

And, second of all, we have a very interesting and damning statistic to discuss with our readership. I don't know how these stat guys come up with various trivia like this one. There must be men and women sitting all day in dingy offices literally just pawing through footballing figures. Without even seemingly watching the game in a few cases. I mean, how would they find the time when they're rummaging through football data?! Regardless, this is a good one.

Shocking Manchester United fact that's pertinent to Leicester City emerges

Judging by this information, you can see why so many top players are refusing or declining to move to Old Trafford. City have their own signing problems at the moment of course. Yet the nugget below did catch my eye:

Leicester City in talks to sign Netherlands National Team and Feyenoord No.10 Calvin Stengs

Yes, Leicester! It's about time we began making moves! Although 26 year old Stengs is currently out-of-favour in Holland - talent clearly exists.

If King Power club bosses are serious about acquiring the midfielder/winger, they must act fast. This is due to supposed interest from Scottish Premiership side, Celtic and Serie A outfit, Pisa.

De Telegraaf carried the initial report. Foxes of Leicester presume Stengs is on the shortlist should Bilal El Khannouss join Crystal Palace. A deal is to be had here; the former's ostensible value is €7 million.
