Leicester City have three transfer options next season: they will either get creative, fail miserably or, worryingly, invite further Profit and Sustainability punishment. The first outcome would obviously be ideal; considering who owns the East Midlands club and who his right-hand man is, the second scenario is more likely.
​The third would make this season look tame!

Without being a doom monger, the Blue Army remain at the mercy of Aiyawatt (Khun Top) Srivaddhanaprabha, along with Jon Rudkin. God help them!

​Creativity in the market is possible, though; loans, free transfers and the fabled Moneyball technique LCFC previously employed is preferable. A few outlets have actually already made some realistic, salient, plausible and feasible suggestions to Foxes bosses.

Three possible Leicester City signings

First of all, OffsAIde (via LCFC Live) believe Isaac Hayden would be a solid acquisition. His robust profile as a disciplined yet combative defensive midfielder offers the exact steel needed. The impending free agency a quality stint at Queens Park Rangers makes him an incredibly cost-effective option for a financially constrained hierarchy.

"QPR have released defensive midfielder Isaac Hayden. The 31-year-old made 30 appearances in all competitions this season and could add steel at the base of midfield."

​Turning our attention elsewhere, the inclusion of Emiliano Marcondes presents an alluring, technically astute alternative to revitalize a depleted engine room. Although, they could certainly combine to deploy '6 and 8' synergy.

Released by Norwich City despite previously proving his immense winning pedigree by securing promotions with Brentford and Bournemouth, the Danish playmaker provides the transitional creativity that can unlock stubborn defences. He would represent a high-reward gamble if the club can successfully secure his signature.

​Furthermore, the youthful exuberance of Myles Peart-Harris is another avenue well worth exploring for the King Power decision-makers. Having spent a highly active short-term spell at Oxford United, where he featured in 20 out of 22 eligible games, his dynamic ball-carrying ability from the left and raw attacking instinct offer the perfect blend of high potential and low financial risk.

​Finally, the veteran guile of Luke Berry stands as a pragmatic, battle-tested solution to the East Midlanders' impending squad depth crisis. Newly available on a free transfer following his confirmed departure from Charlton Athletic, the 33-year-old midfielder possesses a lethal knack for arriving late in the penalty box to provide invaluable goals, injecting proven Football League pedigree on a absolute shoestring budget.
