The Foxes are yet to do any business this summer.
Premier League side Leicester City are the only team in Europe's top seven divisions not to sign any players this summer. The start of the Premier League is just a few days away and the foxes have done no business as of now. Leicester City has a fairly poor campaign last term. Brendan Rodgers' side finished 8th in the Premier League table and missed out on European football.
The Foxes were expected to spend heavily in the summer transfer window to get their project back on track. But the club are yet to make any signings in the ongoing transfer window. On top of that, Ademola Lookman has returned to his parent club RB Leipzig after his loan spell. Goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic has left the club after the end of his contract. While Belgium midfielder Dennis Praet has returned to the club after a fairly poor loan spell in Italy.
To make matters worse, Chelsea have shown interest in Leicester's star centre-half Wesley Fofana. The French centre-half may be tempted to jump the ship considering the foxes' current situation. While club captain Kasper Schmeichel has decided to leave the club this summer. Schmeichel has agreed personal terms with French side Nice. Reports suggest the deal is only subject to Leicester finding a replacement for the Danish goalkeeper.
Belgium star midfielder Youri Tielemans has also drawn interest from Premier League giants like Arsenal and Manchester United and could very well leave this summer. To make matters even worse, 10 first-team players are out of contract at the end of next season. The list includes stars like Caglar Söyüncü, Daniel Amartey, Jamie Vardy and Jonny Evans are all out of contract next summer.
The owners and the board need to act fast in the current transfer window and sort out the contract situation going into the start of next season,
