The transfer window is almost shut, but Leicester City are still trying to do everything they can to bring one more face through the door.
It’s only a matter of hours to go until the 2024 summer transfer window shuts its doors for good, but Leicester City are racing against the clock to get the deals done.
So far it’s been a day of loan exits for youngsters, however, there is still time to bring somebody in and the Foxes may be getting closer.

Stoke City of the Championship are the frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old on loan, who will relish the chance to get some much-needed minutes.

Ben Nelson also set for deadline day move away
Another departure on the cards could be Ben Nelson, who has also been linked with a loan to the Championship.
Several second-tier clubs are interested in his services but despite all of the speculation, a move doesn’t look any closer to being secured.
Nelson needs minutes if he wants to establish himself as a first-choice defender at Leicester in the future and he and the Foxes will both be hoping that something can materialise in time.
