A Leicester City star is said to be in 'advanced talks' regarding a prospective transfer to Premier League side West Ham United. This supposed update has emerged following a report stating LCFC were content to allow the Fox in question to leave the East Midlands. Who is the mystery man? Do we advocate a sale here? And is an agreement foreseeable? Let's see.
Leicester City resigned to letting standout player or two exit this summer?
Leicester are either happy, or being forced, to relinquish up to two of their outstanding assets. That's the general belief of most experts or journalists who have commented on the situation on Filbert Way.
Again, not to bore you, but Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss are the obvious pair we are speaking of. West Ham are actually reportedly eyeing up both Foxes talents, if we can trust speculation surrounding supposed events here.
Unfortunately Foxes of Leicester must reluctantly champion one or two sales in this instance. Usually one star would be sold over the offseason, and even that scenario is hard for Leicester's Blue Army fan base to stomach.
Though surely the majority of us supporters would understand if El Khannouss and Hermansen both leave. That eventuality is preferable to LCFC suffering further financial problems, uncertainty or woe.

It isn't El Khannouss. The Hammers appear to be getting closer to signing the Dane. I will pass on this message to the WHUFC support: you're potentially buying real quality here.
"We believe advanced talks between West Ham and Leicester are taking place to solve the transfer of Mads Hermansen. Leicester are looking for a fee in the region of £35million. West Ham might be more eager to pay £20million. We just have to wait and see were this lands."TCF, 'A TRUSTED SOURCE' FOR LCFC NEWS
The only issue West Ham will likely endure going forward is big six clubs attempting to prise Hermansen away for themselves. However, when taking into account his recent injury, Leicester's tough negotiating and the East Londoners ostensibly having other 'keeper targets, a deal is seemingly still yet to be reached.
