There is lots of talk about incomings at Leicester City this transfer window, but, there are also the potential of outgoings too.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has made no secret of his desire to bring in new faces to the King Power Stadium this winter but, with funds tight, some departures may have to take place.
The loan market is also available to use and there is every chance that Leicester look overseas to get their business done.
Hamza Choudhury has been linked with Sheffield United whilst there are also reports suggesting the Foxes could sell Tom Cannon to facilitate moves.
Leicester have also seemingly decided on the future of another star, but getting him off the books isn’t going to be as easy as they’d like.
Leicester City want to cancel Odsonne Edouard loan
It’s fair to say that Odsonne Edouard‘s time at Leicester can be summed up as a disaster.
Edouard joined the Foxes on deadline day from Crystal Palace but has played six times in all competitions and is yet to feature under Van Nistelrooy.
The Leicester boss insisted that Edouard would be staying as recently as last week but in contradictory reports, Daily Mail reporter Tom Collomosse has said quite the opposite.
He stated that the Foxes want to cancel their loan deal and that they paid a significant fee to land his services but in order for that to happen, they must rely on factors out of their control.
The stumbling block Leicester face in cancelling Odsonne Edouard deal
Unfortunately, cancelling Edouard’s deal isn’t plain and simple for Leicester.
Due to a clause in his contract, the only way he will leave the East Midlands will be if his parent club cancel the deal.
Whilst that may seem a feasible prospect, Edouard is clearly not in Palace’s plans and given that the Frenchman has already played for the Eagles and Leicester this season, would be ineligible to play for any other side.
Footballing regulations state that players can only represent two clubs across an entire season, meaning that the forward has already fallen into that.
Evan Ferguson had been linked with Leicester on loan but unless Facundo Buonanotte’s loan is cancelled, that won’t be able to happen, meaning the Foxes will have to look elsewhere.
