Day three of the January transfer window is now upon us and Leicester City have already been linked with a lot of names.
Leicester City will no doubt be desperate to add to their squad in the current winter window.
The Foxes’ fall down the Premier League table continued last time out with a defeat to Manchester City.
It’s now clearer than ever that new additions must be made if they are to stand any chance of avoiding the drop.
With that said, Leicester City News have rounded up all of the latest transfer news and rumours coming out of the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City target Ben Godfrey can leave Atalanta
The Foxes, as is to be expected, are being linked with a lot of centre-backs already.
It was reported last month that Leicester wanted to sign Ben Godfrey from Serie A outfit Atalanta BC.
The defender has only played 22 minutes of Serie A football so far this season and it’s now emerged that Atalanta are willing to let Godfrey leave in January.
Leicester City rival Nottingham Forest for striker
While a new centre-back is, of course, needed, the Foxes also appear to be on the hunt for a new striker.
Jamie Vardy will turn 38 next week so a long-term replacement for him does make a lot of sense.
Now, Leicester are rivalling Nottingham Forest for Petar Musa of MLS outfit, FC Dallas.
The forward scored 23 goals last season and Dallas have put a price-tag of at least €18m (around £14.9m) on his head.
Leicester’s Hamza Choudhury wanted by Sheffield United
Away from the incomings front, there’s a chance the Midlands outfit could make some sales this month.
Midfielder Hamza Choudhury has only played 130 minutes of Premier League football this season and is now garnering interest from elsewhere in England.
Recent reports claim Sheffield United want to sign Choudhury, and have made him one of their transfer targets for January having previously worked with Blades’ boss Chris Wilder.
Enzo Maresca signing could return in January transfer window
Enzo Maresca left Leicester for Chelsea during the summer having won the club promotion from the Championship last season.
During his time at the King Power, the Italian signed Cesare Casadei on loan from his new team, Chelsea.
It’s now claimed that Leicester have enquired about Casadei but could face competition from the likes of Torino, Monza and Lazio.

Ruud van Nistelrooy quizzed on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall links
Another former Fox has also been tipped to return to the Midlands in the 2024/25 season.
Leicester were linked to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in December amid his struggles for playing time at Stamford Bridge.
Ruud Nistelrooy has commented on Dewsbyury-Hall this week but seemed to hint a move would need to be permanent as their Premier League loan spots are currently full.
