We’re coming towards the business end of the transfer window now and time is running out for Leicester City.

The Foxes have signed one player this transfer window, completing a deal to sign Woyo Coulibaly from Parma.

Coulibaly wasn’t able to make his Leicester debut at the weekend due to registration rules but should hopefully be in contention to play against Tottenham Hotspur next week.

Other names have been linked with a move to the King Power Stadium but there are also more targets that they have missed out on.

Here are all the latest Leicester City transfer news and rumours on day 20 of the window.

A striker is desperately needed at Leicester this month following Jamie Vardy’s disappointing form of late.

Patson Daka is also failing to impress, Odsonne Edouard the subject of a £15m bid from Atlanta and in-demand forward Tom Cannon seemingly heading to Sheffield United, other options are required.

One report has suggested that the Foxes are looking into the possibility of loaning Andre Silva from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.

Silva has only played eight times, scoring once in those, but is yet to start a game. A loan move is most likely given his wages and likely asking price but could be an important signing if he joins.

Jakub Moder is one of the midfielders linked with Leicester this month and the Poland international appeared to be of interest to the Foxes and Everton.

Moder was also seemingly available for a cut-price deal due to his contract expiring in the summer but he now seems destined to leave England altogether.

Reports revealed that Feyenoord were closing in on a transfer reportedly in the region of £1.5m and that he will leave the Seagulls to join the Dutch giants who are fourth in the Eredivisie at the time of writing.
