Leicester City are on course for Premier League relegation, with a return to the Championship on the horizon.
The Foxes have been nothing short of dreadful since the turn of the year, with Ruud van Nistelrooy failing to save the sinking ship as Leicester currently sit 19th in the standings, a whole nine points adrift from Premier League safety.

As a result of Leicester’s likely relegation from the Premier League, a number of players have already been linked with moves away from the King Power Stadium, with Mads Hermansen tipped for a big transfer this summer having impressed between the sticks.
And Arsenal have now set their attention on a Leicester player who will leave the club in the summer should the Foxes go down.
Arsenal keeping tabs on Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss
According to Foot Africa, Arsenal are showing strong interest in signing Bilal El Khannouss, with Leicester expected to ‘force’ the Morocco international out of the club if they’re relegated back down to the Championship.
As per the report, Lazio and RB Leipzig are also interested in signing El Khannouss, who has impressed in bursts for Leicester since signing last summer from KRC Genk for £21m, with the attacking midfielder managing three goals and four assists in all competitions.
Now, Mikel Arteta is casting his eye on the 20-year-old Leicester star, with El Khannouss already backed to play for Arsenal after just one year in the Premier League with the Foxes, where the Gunners could get a good deal.
Indeed, a full squad overhaul is needed in the summer for Leicester, and if El Khannouss leaves for a decent fee, the Foxes will have a good platform to build from to build a team that can win the Championship.
Leicester need to get as much as possible from Bilal El Khannouss
With Jermaine Beckford lauding El Khannouss as ‘something special’, the 20-year-old Moroccan youngster has been one of the very few bright sparks for Leicester in what has been another season to forget.
As a result, Leicester have to do all they can to ensure they receive as high a fee as possible for El Khannouss, who could attract quite the sum if Arsenal are serious about bringing the versatile attacking midfielder to north London.
With a contract until 2028, Leicester have a lot power in the war room when it comes to dealing with El Khannouss’ departure, and a good fee could go a long way in the Foxes returning to their former glory in the years to come.
