January is on the horizon; things often change for English Football League clubs in the New Year. And the same can be said of Leicester City; even Premier League sides complete additions on occasion. Today (Monday, October 27) we bring you a story which blends together England's highest three divisions. Why so? Well, lower league teams, especially those in the Championship, are vying for the edge to take them back to the big time of the top flight.
To that end, signing occasionally inexperienced yet massively talented up-and-coming footballers from EPL outfits offers the chance of filling said voids. According to a report from The Sun Sports Writer Alan Nixon, via a personal Patreon account, the Foxes have been sending their scouts on missions. Manchester United was seemingly the main port of call for the East Midlanders.
It appears that City could well be plotting some loan transfers in January. As I indicate, LCFC may actually acquire more than one loanee. As a matter of fact, those loanees might perhaps emerge via the same original household. A pair of Man United brothers are reportedly in City's sights. What did the journalist say exactly? What is the profile of the targets? And do we endorse a move in this instance?

The Fletchers are currently making their respective names for the Red Devils Under-21s. Though Ruben Amorim may allow some of the starlets to temporary leave when the winter market opens.
Apparently other scouts from even lower leagues were in attendance versus Barnsley as well. Tyler is a defensive-minded midfield; Jack (both are age 18) is the more attacking version.

Marti Cifuentes indeed requires help on the field. Although young, clearly pedigree exists between the twins.
