Leicester City are struggling this season and are in desperate need of new recruits this summer.
There have been plenty of transfer rumours involving Leicester this month, although thinks haven’t come to fruition so far.
Woyo Coulibaly joined from Parma for £3m last week and since then it only seems like outgoings are a possibility after Sheffield United agreed a fee to sign Tom Cannon.
The Foxes have scouted a number of players over the years across a variety of positions and some could still prove to be a great acquisition as Leicester target five signings this window.
However, one of those can be crossed off the list as he looks set to move to a Premier League rival.
Southampton transfer news: Albert Gronbaek set to complete loan move
Everyone around the bottom of the Premier League is strengthening in a bid to make the final tweaks to their squad in a bid to mount a late survival push.
Despite this, survival may be too tall of an order for Southampton, who are cut adrift at the bottom of the table with just six points.
That hasn’t stopped them having a go and according to Foot Mercato jounalist Santi Aouma, Albert Gronbaek of Rennes could be on his way to St Mary’s Stadium.
Leicester were interested in Gronbaek back in 2023 whilst he was shining at Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt but opted against a move for the attacking midfielder.
Gronbaek only joined Rennes in the summer and has made 18 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals, but is seemingly available for transfer and could be heading to the South Coast already.
Ruud van Nistelrooy hands Leicester City fans transfer reality check
Frustration is growing at the lack of transfer activity at the King Power Stadium but it appears that they won’t be going away anytime soon.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been open about Leicester’s restraints in the transfer market with PSR fears still hanging over the Foxes.
When asked if he still felt the support from the board in the market, he said: “Yeah, because we welcomed a new player in a position that we needed. We only have one right-back in the squad and he has to play everything. That’s a good start. We continue to look for the players to strengthen the squad within the possibilities.
“Of course, you look for as many (as you can). We have to face reality and do it within the possibilities. We’re trying very hard to do so.”
