On this July Tuesday after, we have two Leicester City transfer rumours for the Blue Army. The Foxes have been linked with a myriad of supposedly potential signings during the current preseason. Some of the reported connections are more likely arrivals on Filbert Way than others, naturally, especially with City's diminishing pull for talent.
Though speculation continues, and we attempt to report and comment on every single one of them! This time around, LCFC are said to have a young Finnish star on their radar. In addition to that target, the East Midlands team are apparently tracking a Premier League goalkeeper as well.
Who is Matias Siltanen and are LCFC really keen?
Siltanen plays for Djurgarden in Sweden's first division, Allsvenskan. He began in Finland with KuPS. He's a precocious central midfielder.
"He’s long been tipped for the top and was last year named by the Guardian among their 60 talents born in 2007 to keep an eye on."Leicester Mercury
Along with the Foxes, Manchester City, Bournemouth, Rennes and PAOK are interested too, as well as a couple of Bundesliga outfits. The 18-year-old is currently valued at €1.00m on Transfermarkt.
Leicester City transfer hearsay detailed as Foxes hunt Premier League stopper
Journalist, transfer insider and apparent Leicester fan, Ben Jacobs, has recently spoken on a City claim. The the reporter specifically focused on once again top flight outfit Leeds United.
The Yorkshire side reportedly have a few players who are 'surplus to requirements' for the upcoming season. One of the reportedly unwanted Peacocks is Sam Greenwood. LCFC are connected with the forward who'd be an appropriate addition in Foxes of Leicester's view.
City are meant to be losing No.1 stopper Mads Hermansen at some point. This will mean either a new 'keeper arriving, or the promotion of Jakub Stolarczyk to first-choice.
Another former star at Leeds has now fallen out of favour at Elland Road. Illan Meslier didn't impress as the campaign culminated. Therefore the Whites may approach a new goalie. And City could consequently go for Meslier.
"Leicester at the same time are advancing on Asmir Begovic who is available on a free transfer, they have discussed Illan Meslier at Leeds who may be available because he didn’t finish strongly last season"Ben Jacobs
