Even though there is a brief hiatus from the tranfer window, business and plans will inevitably continue in anticipation behind the scenes. The market isn't closed for long, less than a week actually, so let's hope Leicester City are planning to make even tentative moves at some point! In the meantime, further Foxes are said to be wanted men. And it is clubs with a now higher status and something to offer interested in LCFC's best and lesser players. Manchester United are currently, apparently keeping tabs on a once leading Fox. Meanwhile, an ex-forward of the East Midlands outfit is now linked with a return to the UK.

Manchester United eye once leading Fox

While not too many signings are expected on Filbert Way for obvious (PSR) reasons, the City squad is likely to be widely plundered. Due to the Foxes' tier two standing, there is not much they can do if prominent, or low quality, footballers request respective exits.

Free transfers, loans and agreements containing small fees are probably the order of preseason at King Power Stadium. However, retaining starlets, prospects, along with senior players and dismissing interest is vital.

One of Leicester's formerly standout ballers is said to be a wanted man at present. Wilfred Ndidi once led the Premier League in interceptions and tackling. To be fair, he has a more forward thinking role these days.

"According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Manchester United are keeping tabs on his situation, and they could look to make a move for the 28-year-old."

Though Ndidi has lost some of his swiftness as well as tenacity. Nevertheless, Man United are supposedly admirers of the Nigeria international along with Everton.

Ex-Leicester City winger thought to be preparing return to United Kingdom with Celtic of Scotland

Can you recall Fousseni Diabate? The former Fox left a few years ago now. But he could be on his way to the Scottish Premiership with Brendan Rodgers:

"Celtic have been credited with interest in Fousseni Diabaté, the Malian international winger currently playing for Lausanne-Sport in Switzerland."
