Enzo Maresca has discussed his hopes for the next week of the transfer window, as he nears completion of his fifth deal.
The new Leicester boss has already added four players to his roster in the form of Conor Coady, Harry Winks, Callum Doyle, and Mads Hermansen.
He has also welcomed the return of Marc Albrighton and Hamza Choudhury following their loan moves.
The rebuild has been required as Leicester have lost 10 senior players.
Eight of which being free transfers with Harvey Barnes and James Maddison completing moves to Newcastle and Spurs respectively.
Now with only a week until the Championship resumes, Maresca has spoke of his hopes for the next week.
Maresca on his hopes
Leicester City boss Maresca has been speaking to BBC Radio Leicester’s When You’re Smiling Podcast as he continues his pre-season in Thailand.
He spoke of his hopes to have “almost the final squad” in place for his Championship opener.
He said: “We are close to the official game. Like every club we hope to have almost the final squad. But we know it’s difficult because there is all of next month also.
“So there’s many players that can arrive and many players that can leave. The important thing is to have, as soon as possible, the squad close, to work with all of them for all of the season.”
This comes as Leicester are set to confirm their fifth signing, Stephy Mavididi who comes in as a direct Barnes replacement.
Maresca will be hoping for some more incomings with even more departures being reported.
