Leicester should perhaps look at this EFL sharp shooter ahead of League One return

Leicester City will undoubtedly be the big dogs next season in League One.

Former Premier League winners in 2016, the Foxes' drastic fall from grace means that their fellow third tier teams next season will be champing at the bit to beat the Midlands giants to pick up a gigantic scalp, and knock them down a peg or two.

It remains to be seen whether Leicester will take League One by storm immediately next season, having addressed their relegation wounds, with it being reported that the Foxes have a weighty £10m to play with in transfer funds.

Leicester's summer spending

Away from potentially spending big in the summer, the Foxes also need to get their search for a brand-new manager spot on, to acclimatise to the third tier well, so they avoid another Gary Rowett-style calamity.

Darren Ferguson's name has been loosely mentioned here and there as a successor, with journalist Alan Nixon also reporting that the League One titans will have a sizeable £10m for their transfer budget.

This will be put to good use, no doubt, as Leicester try to build a title-winning team from the rubble of relegation.

Buying a brand-new lethal striker is quite clearly a priority, with Leicester already being linked with red-hot Plymouth Argyle striker Lorent Tolaj, who has just finished a 22-goal season with the failed playoff candidates.

They could set their sights elsewhere, too, with the race for Tolaj's services also involving the likes of Millwall and Sheffield United reportedly, as this other third-tier sharpshooter could tick all their boxes.

Leicester could also have this League One hotshot in mind

Indeed, the tussle for Tolaj's services this approaching summer looks as if it will be an intense one, with the Devon outfit unlikely to part ways with their star-man on the cheap.

Leicester could still do their striker shopping in Devon, however, as Exeter City centre-forward Jayden Wareham might well pique their interest this summer, instead, as an option that could be available for a cut-price deal after the Grecians' relegation on the final day.

While Exeter were hopeless for most of the latter stages of the season, Wareham consistently stood out as a threat up top for Matt Taylor's men, with a very impressive 19 League One goals next to his name for the relegated team.

If he can pull this off in a team that succumbed to the drop, it's quite frightening to think what the Exeter number nine could be capable of in a side chasing promotion out of the division.

At 22 years of age, as well, he has even more to give, with Wareham desperate to prove himself as a consistent goalscoring presence, away from just one season of blistering form in front of goal, further up the league.

It has been reported that both Bolton Wanderers and Bradford City are eyeing up the ex-Reading youth sensation, alongside clubs from the Championship, so the Foxes would have their work cut out for them.

But, if Leicester are serious about an instant return to the second tier, this could be a signing of real intent, as a substantial £10m rebuild begins to take shape.
