The transfer window is open and that means Ruud van Nistelrooy can finally add to his Leicester City squad.
Leicester are 19th in the Premier League and are two points behind Wolves, who currently occupy 17th.
Key:
Position 1 – 4 : Champions League
Position 5 : UEFA Europa League
Position 18 – 20 : Relegation
Money is available for the Foxes, who are looking to improve their squad in order to secure survival, as well as get rid of any deadwood.
Three Leicester stars are out of contract in 2025 and January represents the final opportunity for the club to get any sort of fee for them before they depart for nothing.
But, there are some players who hold some value and they are ones that the Leicester boss can use to sell, raise extra funds and attract a better quality of player to the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City goalkeeping duo must move on
Two of those set to leave the club at the end of the season are Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen.
Ward was booed by Leicester fans in his most recent appearance for the club whilst Iversen hasn’t featured since the Foxes were relegated from the top flight.
Mads Hermansen and Jakub Stolarczyk are the clear favourites for the goalkeeping position and for the two on the fringes, sitting in the shadows is something neither would want to do.
Iversen could secure himself a move to a Championship club whereas a move abroad and out of the limelight may suit Ward after a turbulent time.
According to Capology, both ‘keepers leaving the club would free up an extra £55,000-a-week on the wage bill, which would be a huge boost for the Foxes’ finances.
Hamza Choudhury leaving Leicester City would be best for all parties
Nobody likes to see an academy player leave, but the time for Hamza Choudhury to move on from the Foxes is here.
Despite making over 100 appearances, Choudhury is used sparingly by Leicester and following his decision to switch allegiance and represent Bangladesh internationally, he is now the poster boy for the country.
Choudhury is certainly good enough to play at the top end of the Championship and like Ward, is someone who is earning £50,000-a-week. An added bonus would be that he would also fetch in some extra money in the way of a transfer fee and could easily fetch £8-10m given his experience.
