Leicester City are set to be handed another blow in their pursuit for attackers ahead of the new campaign.
The Foxes have been put through turmoil in their pursuit to bolster their attacking options this summer.
Attackers across the frontline have been targeted as a result of the limited options, which have been made much more drastic with the initial absence of talisman Jamie Vardy at the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Kelechi Iheanacho also left following promotion from the Championship under former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca.
Leicester City were looking at bringing the likes of Matias Soule to the King Power Stadium, however he opted against a move to the Premier League in favour of Serie A side Roma.
Since Soule, Leicester City have now been issued another update on their ongoing pursuit of a Premier League attacker, which seems unlikely as a result of financial issues surrounding the club at this moment, despite sales of key players such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Leicester City deal for Reiss Nelson deemed too expensive
Leicester City had shown their interest in Arsenal attacker Reiss Nelson this summer, however any deal to bring the English winger to the King Power now looks unlikely as a result of a deal being too expensive, per Fabrizio Romano.
The Foxes were initially interested in the back-end of July, with Steve Cooper seemingly being a big fan of the winger, however, after being priced out of a deal, it will be unlikely to see Nelson sign for Leicester City this summer.
The 24-year-old winger, who has 49 Premier League appearances, joins a list of players who Leicester City have missed out on this summer, particularly attackers.

Leicester City transfer panic could cause unrest within the squad
There is no doubt that the summer transfer window hasn’t panned out the way that Cooper will have intended, and it is clearly a case that only a couple days before the Premier League season starts, Leicester City don’t quite have a side that could confidently stay up this season.
The side look fairly depleted, certainly in attack and midfield, and there is no doubt that the difficulty of getting signings over the line at the King Power could potentially affect the current crop of players in the side.
Following Leicester City’s promotion they are yet to fully be backed in the form of new signings, in order to continue that momentum this season. Attackers must be brought in presently, and the current turmoil surrounding signings must be put behind the board in order to bring a player in as soon as possible.
