Leicester City’s winter transfer window was a complete failure.
Woyo Coulibaly was Leicester’s only addition of the window after he completed a £3m switch from Serie A outfit Parma.
Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted a winger, centre-back and a striker, but the club failed to land any of his desired targets.
Leicester explored a late deal to sign Craig Dawson from Wolves, with Conor Coady going the other way, but ultimately they decided to end those talks.
City were one of the lowest spenders in the Premier League and had to watch their relegation rivals strengthen.
That’s naturally caused some real friction with the fanbase but now it’s just emerged how Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, most notably known as Khun Top, really feels about the lack of transfer business.
Khun Top really wants to spend big at Leicester
According to The Athletic, Leicester’s lack of transfer activity wasn’t due to a lack of funds by any means.
In fact, Khun Top would love to invest heavily into the squad to back his manager van Nistelrooy, but quite simply, PSR issues have restricted the club’s movement.
The £80m spend last summer, which was one of City’s highest on record, has not paid off at all and the unforeseen sacking of Steve Cooper has also played its part in the disastrous winter window.
Cooper was only a few months into his three-year deal when he was sacked, so they had to fork out a substantial amount on his pay-off.
Quite clearly, Khun Top is still fully committed to the club having just wiped off £124m worth of debt only last month.
So he clearly isn’t happy with the current situation.
Leicester will likely have to make a big sale before July
The Foxes aren’t out of the woods PSR-wise and will likely have to sell one of their key assets before the financial year ends in June.
Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss represent the most likely departures given their considerable sell-on value.
Manchester United have recently shown an interest in Hermansen whilst Chelsea also looked at him last summer.
A £40m price tag has been mooted for Hermansen.
