Leicester City aren’t likely to do anymore business in the January transfer window, but do have their eyes set on the summer.
Woyo Coulibaly is Leicester’s only addition this month despite Ruud van Nistelrooy’s hopes of signing more players.
It’s a disappointing return for the Foxes and there are fears that Van Nistelrooy could quit due to broken promises from the hierarchy.
However, reports have suggested that Leicester could sign Jordan Torunarigha on a pre-contract deal in the summer.

With that, here is everything you need to know about Leicester’s latest transfer target.
