Transfer deadline day is here and Leicester City still have work to do.
The Foxes have signed one player this month after bringing in Woyo Coulibaly from Parma in mid-January.
There have been plenty of departures too but with Ruud van Nistelrooy wanting players in four key positions, Leicester don’t have much time to get their business done.
Leicester fans have become frustrated with John Rudkin after the lack of activity but will be sat by their screens hoping that a new face walks through the door at the King Power Stadium.
On this final day, here are three deals that Leicester could get done before the 11:00PM deadline.

Patrick Wimmer joins from Wolfsburg
A winger is one of Van Nistelrooy’s priorities this winter and it seems that Patrick Wimmer could be the man in question.
Wimmer has more assists than Bilal El Khannouss and has impressed in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg.
It’s believed that the German side would prefer a bid closer to £20m but with a lack of options out wide, he could be a valuable asset to bring into the side.

Luke Thomas leaves
It’s never nice to see one of you’re own go, but for Luke Thomas, his time looks up.
Thomas came through Leicester’s academy and even played in the FA Cup final win but has never kicked on then and fallen down the pecking order.
Victor Kristiansen is a nailed-on starter and with Coulibaly and James Justin also capable of playing left-back, there are better options ahead of him.
Hoffenheim made an offer for Thomas but saw their bid knocked back. If someone can reach the Foxes’ valuation, he could go.
Leicester sign a centre-back
As well as a striker, a left-sided centre-back has been on Leicester’s agenda this month too.
In recent days Strahinja Pavlovic is the name linked to Leicester, however, the Serbian international wants to fight for his place at AC Milan.
Valentin Gomez was also of interest to Leicester but those reports have gone quiet ever since his move to Brazilian side Cruzeiro broke down.
Caleb Okoli and Wout Faes are both wanted by Serie A clubs but if nothing comes to avail on incomings or outgoings, then things may stay how they are in the defensive department.
