Leicester wisely target CB transfer amid good Hermansen injury news | OneFootball

New Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy recently and questionably labelled his centre back options as 'luxurious'. This outlet beg to differ with the Dutchman on that one. We also suggested that City potentially turn to the soon-to-be open transfer market for a centre half in January. That way, relegation fears may be eased slightly on Filbert Way.

Happily, with question marks over the Leicester defence, a twist might perhaps have arisen. According to a report, the east Midlands outfit are wisely targeting a fresh player for that very role. Would the prospective LCFC signing be ready to come into the starting lineup immediately? Or, is this a footballer for the Foxes' future? All will become clear.

Amid speculation on how the squad will look once we get to February 2025 when the window has closed, other City topics require our attention. There could be good news on the horizon for the King Power club after a recent scare. Mads Hermansen, the undisputed Leicester No.1, was substituted due to injury at half-time of the Newcastle United drubbing at St. James' Park.

However, we have positive news on the Danish goalkeeper. Will he play versus Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday? Let's see what van Nistelrooy had to say during Friday's pre-match press conference.

Leicester City in the market for a defender?

City's defence has not been up to Premier League standard so far this season. Losing Hermansen to injury would further dent chances of survival. But more on that later, because a solution to defensive problems may not arrive in the New Year due to the age and experience of the target:
