Leicester are hoping to make further additions before transfer deadline day but are first looking to offload fringe players like Boubakary Soumare and Jannik Vestergaard to raise funds.

Percy tweeted: "[Leicester] close to their first signing of the summer - ex-Cardiff & Huddersfield goalkeeper Alex Smithies in talks over a move on a free transfer.

"The 32yo was recently on trial at [Bournemouth]. Leicester hopeful of further additions through the exits of players inc Soumare & Vestergaard."
