Leicester are in desperate need of January additions as they fight for their Premier League status.
The Foxes are on a run of five straight defeats in the Premier League, which has seen them drop into the relegation zone.
Leicester beat QPR 6-2 in the FA Cup on the weekend which has boosted morale but there are still plenty of issues to address.
A centre-back, full-back, winger and striker are believed to be areas the club would like to strengthen in and it seems Woyo Coulibaly is close to completing a switch to the King Power Stadium.
After the Coulibaly deal, Leicester should be going all out to sign a talented Championship wide player who’s currently attracting interest from Crystal Palace.
Leicester should try to sign Romain Esse
Romain Esse is one of the most exciting young talents in the Championship and Milwall are facing a fight to retain his signature this month.
Crystal Palace are the most advanced club in the race to land Esse, according to BBC Football.
If there is an opportunity to swoop in late, Leicester should certainly consider it as they’re in desperate need of a wide player.
Since Abdul Fatawu’s season-ending injury, City have been completely bereft of a threat on the flanks, with Stephy Mavididi blowing hot and cold.
Esse, who is thought to be valued at around £14m, would be the ideal signing for Ruud van Nistelrooy this month.
The Millwall teenager has been likened to Michael Olise and these are the types of deal which City used to deal with a great deal of success – as evinced by James Maddison.
Leicester need to put forward convincing pitch to snatch Esee from Crystal Palace
Realistically, Palace are in a much better position to sign Esse than Leicester given their position in the league table.

| 20 |  SouthamptonSouthampton | 20 | 1 | 3 | 16 | 12 | 44 | -32 | 6 |
So the only way to convince him to sign over the Eagles would be to put forward a convincing pitch, in which he is guaranteed game time right from the off.
It appears if he were to join Palace, Esse would be behind Ismaila Sarr in the pecking order and wouldn’t be a starter immediately.
Whereas, City can offer him a spot in van Nistelrooy’s XI given the injuries out wide, so that should be put forward to the 19-year-old.
