It feels like every other club is doing business in the transfer window aside from Leicester City at this current time.
Leicester are yet to make a signing nine days into the January window, despite several links to players around the world.
The Foxes could be handed a points deduction due to financial concerns, with an outcome reportedly set to be reached next week.
There is also every chance that Ruud van Nistelrooy could leave Leicester if he isn’t backed in the market after being told money was available when he was appointed in November.
Whilst the uncertainty rolls on, other clubs continue to go about their business and one former Leicester title winner could be moved on from a Premier League rival.
Crystal Palace transfer news: Jeffrey Schlupp wanted by Championship duo
Plenty of players are either on the move or being linked with a move already and that includes former Leicester stars.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is reportedly wanted by West Ham United after being told he can leave Chelsea less than a year after signing for £30m.
One other former Fox who could depart his current club is Leicester academy graduate Jeffrey Schlupp.
The 32-year-old was part of the infamous title-winning squad in 2015/16 and played a huge part in winning the Championship two years prior.
Schlupp left the King Power Stadium in January 2017 to join Crystal Palace for £12.5m and has been there ever since.

For the large part, the Ghana international has been a regular feature in Palace’s line up but has found game time hard this season. He is yet to start a game in all competitions and has less than 100 minutes of top flight action across 11 games.
According to Alan Nixon of The Sun, Schlupp is wanted by Championship clubs Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End.
Either one of these teams will see this as a chance to do a cut-price deal, with Schlupp’s contract up at the end of the season.
Leicester City should be targeting players out of contract in transfer window
Although Leicester wouldn’t consider a return for Schlupp, the Foxes should definitely be looking to target players in a similar position.
With less than six months of the season to go, players who are out of contract are free to talk to other clubs outside of their domestic leagues and are likely to be sold for fees way below their asking price as teams try and get them off the books.
There are several out of contract players Leicester could target that would be able to cover a variety of positions for the Foxes.
It may be a far more cost effective way that won’t break the bank, help Leicester comply with profit and sustainability rules and most importantly. provide Van Nistelrooy with the tools that keeps them up.
