It’s a new week and sadly, Leicester City aren’t jumping into it positively.

The Foxes lost to Arsenal on Saturday, despite Woyo Coulibaly impressing on an otherwise dismal afternoon.

Jon Rudkin was at the centre of fan protests as the atmosphere turned sour once more.

Leicester are two points off safety and only have 13 games left to change their fortunes and avoid a second relegation in three seasons.

Still, there is plenty going on in the world for Ruud van Nistelrooy and co, so, with that, here is the latest news from Leicester City.

Leicester City interested in signing Dario Osorio

Even though the transfer window is closed, there are still plenty of transfer rumours flying about.

Leicester are one of those linked with players and reportedly hold interest in Chilean winger Dario Osorio.

The 21-year-old plays his club football in Denmark and has been compared to former Premier League star, Alexis Sanchez.

Any deal would have to wait until the summer, but it feels like a move that can be completed if Leicester stay up.

Jake Evans is seen as the heir to Jamie Vardy’s throne and if he carries on the way he is, there’s no reason why he can’t fulfil that potential.

Evans was in the Leicester squad against Manchester United in the FA Cup last weekend and has been training with the first-team.

He is still continuing his development though, given that he is only 17-years-old, and his form as coincided with a string of positive results for Leicester’s academy team.

The forward scored three goals against Newcastle United in a 6-2 win in the Premier League 2 and could find himself playing with the senior squad sooner rather than later.

Kelechi Iheanacho disappoints on Middlesbrough home debut

After Middlesbrough fans branded Kelechi Iheanacho ‘lazy’ on his debut, it seemed things didn’t change for his second appearance for the Teessiders.

Playing in front of the Riverside Stadium faithful for the first time, Iheanacho barely lasted an hour and failed to have a shot as Michael Carrick’s side were beaten 1-0.

There’s still plenty of time for the former Leicester man to turn his fortunes around, but, he will need to get up to speed quickly.
