According to a supposedly exclusive report, Leicester City haven't finished in the transfer market this summer, contrary to other existing claims. Obviously the East Midlands outfit have only made one signing over the offseason, and that was veteran goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. An underwhelming situation; with no offence intended toward the stopper. But further recruitments are required if City are serious about immediate promotion back to the Premier League. And fresh faces are certainly needed if LCFC are to sell more prominent Foxes ballers. Not to mention the impending and worrying Profit and Sustainability penalty, which could take the form of a points deduction.
So apparent news that City want to sign attacking midfielder Yegor Tverdokhlib is a bonus. Although, this could be an indication that productive playmaker Bilal El Khannouss could be about to leave. Though the Moroccan's hypothetical sale would generate up to a reported £30 million. Meanwhile we'll speak about another young but highly rated Fox. Marti Cifuentes recently gave his approval and appraisal of winger/forward-thinking midfielder Will Alves. The Catalan believes the Leicester-born player's best position is central, which is the ideal segue for this article.
Leicester City eyeing up move for Ukrainian Yegor Tverdokhlib
In only 24 Premier Liga games for Kryvbas, Tverdokhlib produced 16 goal involvements. So you can see why the 24-year-old is being targeted by many clubs.
Leicester have Norwich City, Augsburg and Eyupspor as rivals for Tverdokhlib's signature, as is purported. City are apparently keen; possibly due to "a relatively low fee in the next two weeks."
Foxes manager Marti Cifuentes gives approval to Will Alves
Should El Khannouss exit and Tverdokhlib doesn't arrive, as is probable in my opinion, then LCFC must look in-house. Alves is a separate option available to the head coach; Cifuentes is a fan. The latter ironicallydesignated the principal way to extract the best from the 20-year-old with Bilal possibly exiting:
"...perhaps his [Alves'] best position, in my opinion, is more central. A role that’s about having an influence in central channels, that’s more appropriate for him."
