There’s been a wave of Leicester City transfer rumors over the past few days, but the biggest Foxes story this week is that of James Maddison to Tottenham Hotspur.
The England international’s £ 40 million move to Spurs was confirmed yesterday, bringing an end to a month of back and forth regarding his future.
And his exit has seemingly opened the door for Leicester City to make some new signings of their own, with two potential new signings on their way to the King Power in Conor Coady and Harry Winks.
England defender Coady is reportedly undergoing a medical after Wolves and Leicester agreed to a £8.5million fee for the center-back, whilst Fabrizio Romano says that Spurs man Winks is also set for a medical with Leicester, in what will be a £ 10 million deal separate to the deal that saw Maddison head the other way.
And another name strongly linked with Enzo Maresca’s side is Swansea City striker Joel Piroe. He’s attracting growing interest from the likes of Leicester and Southampton, but it’s been claimed this week by Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink that the Foxes have made a bid for the Swans man.
Elsewhere, it looks like Harvey Barnes could soon follow Maddison out of the exit door. TalkSPORT says that West Ham is ready to step up their pursuit of the Leicester man as soon as Declan Rice’s £ 105 million move to Arsenal goes through.
Lastly, one man who looks increasingly likely to stay this summer is Jamie Vardy. There’s been speculation about his future but the latest reports have revealed that the 36-year-old stays this summer, with reporter Rob Dorsett claiming that Vardy has rejected the opportunity to play in Saudi Arabia.
