Even though we have only just passed the mid-November mark, talk of the New Year is now prevalent among the more click baiting football websites around the world. Why is this? Basically, this is because the January transfer window opens in one and a half months. And, as you will be all to aware of, that festive period will actually fly by.
Therfore we will be in an open market before we know it! Incidentally, or pertinently, clubs such as Leicester City will already be monitoring, or actually planning to secure, further talent. Fairly 'concrete' claims are doing the rounds before now of City's supposed interest in a Brazilian defender. Read the latest on King Power scouts flying to Brazil, and the centre back target here later on today.
Meanwhile, another link has reared its head once more. Although this hearsay cannot be described as problematic or unpleasant for the Foxes as of now. That's because a goalkeeper is connected to the East Midlanders. Coincidentally, first-choice City 'keeper Jakub Stolarczyk has just sustained an injury. In addition to that, the rumoured target is a Manchester City stopper, who's in the England squad no less.
Leicester City's persistent transfer connection to capable Manchester City goalie James Trafford
James Trafford severely struggled in the Premier League under the monstrous but lucrative spotlight of the legendary Pep Guardiola. Though he was excellent, if not exceptional, when competing in the Championship last season. Even revelatory, in fact.
If Stolarczyk will now be sidelined for a while, I would staunchly advocate the loan signing of the out of favour Citizen. Professionals such as Trafford could be the figurative difference for the Filbert Way outfit this term.

Clearly City favour loans to purchase at present. So what is said of Leicester apparently monitoring the Three Lions man? Below are a few quotes on the matter:
