Leicester City have had a slow start to the transfer window but business has begun to pick up on the incomings and outgoings front.
The Foxes are firmly entrenched in a relegation battle this season and are now on a seven-game losing streak in the Premier League under Ruud van Nistelrooy.
In a bid to turn their fortunes around, Leicester City have signed Woyo Coulibaly from Serie A side Parma.
More additions are expected at the King Power Stadium this month as well, with Leicester targeting three positions, according to recent reports.
On the outgoings front, meanwhile, Tom Cannon is set to join Sheffield United in a deal worth around £10m.
But he’s not the only player who could leave the Midlands in the last two weeks of the winter window.
Caleb Okoli agent comments on Leicester City exit
Caleb Okoli only arrived at the King Power in the 2024 summer transfer window, joining from Atalanta BC.
However, his future at the club has already been called into doubt, with previous reports claiming that Okoli is Parma’s priority transfer.
The centre-back has fallen out of favour since Van Nistelrooy took charge, dropping down to the fourth-choice in his position.
Now, as per Italian outlet Tutto Cagliari, the agent of Okoli has provided a fresh transfer update, claiming that Cagliari have now made contact for the player.
He said: “Yes, at the moment there has been contact from them. Let’s see what can happen by the end of the transfer window”
Okoli has been labeled ‘promising’ previously but if Leicester can get a decent fee for him this month, it does make sense to cash in as it seems obvious that Ruud prefers other defenders right now.

Who else could leave Leicester City in January transfer window
As well as Cannon and Okoli, another Foxes player could be on his way out the door this month.
Like his defensive counterpart, Wout Faes has interest from Italy, with Lazio said to have made a loan offer for the Belgian.
However, Leicester’s January transfer budget is expected to be limited and will only be increased if players are sold.
In turn, a loan move for Faes does not make sense and they should instead try to sanction a permanent sale if Van Nistelrooy is willing to let him go.
