A successful former Manchester United scout during the Red Devils' amazingly fruitful bygone era has made Leicester City revelations. And these disclosures relate to the Foxes' upcoming transfer business. Interestingly, the person in question, who remains 'well-connected in footballing circles', has revealed the type of players that the East Midlands outfit want to sign this summer. In addition to that gem, he named one specific footballer that LCFC are going to be targeting over preseason. What sort of stars are the King Power club seeking? And who is the mystery target already on the King Power wishlist?
Successful ex-Manchester United scout reveals type of players Leicester City want to sign
Leicester City are yet to plunge into the transfer market during this offseason spell. The reasons for this inactivity at King Power Stadium are myriad and increasingly concerning.
First of all, the Foxes are allegedly facing points deduction thanks to their ridiculous Profit and Sustainability record. Secondly, LCFC supposedly don't even know which manager they wish to appoint, or can't afford to install them. Thirdly, King Power are said to be at risk of bankruptcy.
Signing players should still be the head coach's choice in my opinion. Forget all this sporting director and recruitment chief nonsense - the boss is the boss. There's a place for executives and suggestions, but that's all!
So why would recruits have already arrived? Though City do have something wise in mind. They're looking for "solid, dependable" professionals, suggests Mick Brown.

Sam Greenwood is exactly what is needed for the upcoming Championship season if you ask me. Young, skilled, determined and a proven goalscorer.
The Leeds back-up is not that similar to the exiting Jamie Vardy, but I see something exiting and promising in the 23-year-old. Greenwood offers things like dead ball expertise, can cross efficiently and plays effective long passes.
"..they want to bring in a new striker because they’ve lost Jamie Vardy..Mick Brown, Football Insider
“So it’s a deal that would make a lot of sense for all parties if they can pull it "
Brown declares that Greenwood is allowed to leave the Whites this summer. The former believes this is a feasible deal.
