Leicester City are set for a busy January transfer window both in and out of the door.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted that Leicester are actively looking the strengthen this squad this window, as his side currently languish in the relegation zone.

The Foxes have lost four games on the bounce and it’s evident defensive reinforcements are desperately needed.
Danish centre-back Thomas Kristensen has been linked to Leicester, though, Tottenham Hotspur are also showing an interest.
On the outgoing front, Tom Cannon is attracting interest from Sheffield United and now the Blades want another Leicester player.
Sheffield United want Hamza Choudhury on loan
According to The Star, Sheffield United are ready to accelerate a move to sign Leicester City utility man Hamza Choudhury.
The Championship promotion hopefuls are hopeful of landing Choudhury’s signature on a six-month loan deal until the end of the season.
United are close to completing the signing of Southampton attacker Ben Brereton Diaz, who is also expected to join on a temporary deal.
It’s not yet understood if van Nistelrooy would be prepared to sanction the exit of Choudhury, who was a favourite during Enzo Maresca’s tenure.
Though, the Bangladesh international has made just one start in the Premier League, so it seems he is surplus to requirements.
Leicester should keep Choudhury until a right back is signed
Leicester really need to hold onto Choudhury until a right-back is signed this month.
James Justin is the only fit and available player in that position, with Ricardo Pereira currently sidelined for the next couple of months.
So with Choudhury having deputized well at right-back in the past, most notably under Maresca, City can’t afford to lose him without a replacement.
That said, Leicester have been looking at Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters.
