We are in the throes of summer - and that means transfer speculation is rife. We are here to try to wade through the nonsense and get to the sensible and reliable Leicester City-relevant information. That is no easy task, believe me. Though we do have guides such as so-called in the know outlets and journalists.
Top tier insiders like Fabrizio Romano, among others, also help us decipher just what exactly is going on at a place like King Power Stadium. You will be aware that City fans have been widely informed, and warned, that one or two of their premium assets could be relinquished. Today we have information on that matter.
I'm sure you'll agree that No.1 goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is one of the Foxes' most notable stars. He's been linked with an exit for around a year now. Beginning with supposed interest from ex-LCFC manager Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, the Dane is now said to have West Ham United and ex-Blues boss Graham Potter as admirers.
Will Hermansen stay at Leicester and help the East Midlands side back to the Premier League, and not get his transfer? Or, will the 25-year-old leave Leicestershire for good? Let's learn the latest twist and make our own minds up.

Hermansen can also apparently count Newcastle United as a potential suitor. Therefore even if West Ham pull out of the race for the Fox, as is purported, the Magpies may swoop.
"Newcastle United are said to be entering the race for West Ham’s top goalkeeping target, Mads Hermansen."
Why do I believe Hermansen might end up remaining on Filbert Way in spite of the chatter about his future? Well, several factors actually imply a turn of events. First of all, City could decide not to sign Leeds United's Illan Meslier.
Marti Cifuentes may not consider Jakub Stolarczyk competent to start. Another aspect is that if LCFC don't get their price, they rarely sell. The Hammers are linked with alternative moves too.

The main issue is Hermansen's injury; he is yet to feature in preseason matches. If you ran a decent EPL club, would you sign a first-choice stopper who recently underwent groin surgery?
