Believe it or not, Leicester City currently have no senior strikers on the roster. That remains a stark and genuine concern for the Blue Army, manifesting despite the current interlude of an active World Cup.
​It is the precarious implication of this squad and club standing that truly alarms, even when acknowledging that sufficient time for a structural turnaround exists before the rigours of preseason officially commence. With a manager now in place in the widely unwanted Russell Martin, who is at least deserving of a fair opportunity at King Power Stadium, a roster capable of challenging the League One competition can yet be successfully compiled.
However, cash remains in critically short supply and is being monitored by the authorities; and occurs amidst the backdrop of the Foxes' own incompetent-proven board. Even though speculative reports suggest the East Midlands side will possess a transfer fund of approximately £10 million, this writer harbours significant doubts regarding that claim: especially considering the sheer volume of player sales supposedly necessary to balance the books.
​Focusing back on the essential need for firepower, the Leicester recruitment department must avoid the temptation to merely sign anybody. What is required is a demonstrably competent and experienced goalscorer to aid the evasion of this negative position.
