Leicester City have a few targets this summer, that's if we trust transfer speculation concerning the East Midlanders. The Foxes certainly require reinforcements of starting quality. Not to mention LCFC bosses having to seek lesser quality filler athletes to complete the flailing and decreasing roster. One apparently wanted man on Filbert Way has seemingly confirmed interest emanating from King Power Stadium.
We briefly describe the footballer in question, as well as providing our view on the rumour and comments. Meanwhile an ex-Foxes star has signed for one of Leicester's Midlands rivals, albeit not a ferocious foe. I actually predicted this one-time Fox to come back and haunt (score against) our side upon his departure from Leicestershire years ago. Which club has the winger signed for? And when do City face this Championship outfit?
Former Foxes star signs for rivals
Do you remember Demarai Gray? I do. He was a Leicester signing with so much ability and promise. Though the native brummie did not fulfil that potential. He always seemed more concerned with image and off the pitch nonsense.
Gray is now a Birmingham City player. He graduated from the Blues' academy many seasons ago. A decade on, he's back at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park. Gray will undoubtedly grab a goal when the two teams meet in the league on August 30 or February 7.
Leicester City target confirms interest
Deportivo de La Coruña’s Yeremay Hernández is pretty much established on City's wishlist this summer. The thrilling winger is also the subject of apparent interest from LCFC's Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It is said that Leicester were preparing to offer La Provincia the €33m on Hernández's release clause. But that was a few months ago. The Foxes were since relegated and financial difficulties will likely scupper any prospective agreement.
Although, as you can read below, the 22-year-old appears to corroborate Leicester's supposed attention:
"These are things my agents handle, and at the time I was focused on the U21 national team. Several teams have expressed interest in me. In the end, I made the decision to play for Dépor, and that’s what I’m sticking with,” he said.Sport witness
On June 16th, the attacker signed a new contract until 2030. He feels Deportivo de La Coruña are the best club for him to continue his development."
