Leicester City have less than a week before the transfer window closes, and right now, they seem far from making any significant moves.
The Foxes have added one player this month, Woyo Coulibaly, who joined from Parma over a week ago. Tom Cannon was sold to Sheffield United to boost the transfer fund, and several younger players have been recalled from loan spells.
While there’s still time for things to change, it looks like loan deals will be Leicester’s best chance for adding fresh faces to the squad.
More departures are also likely, with one of them potentially being a long-serving club member.
Leicester City Transfer News: Luke Thomas Attracting Interest from Bundesliga Club
Hamza Choudhury appears set to join Sheffield United, and now another Leicester academy graduate could follow him out the door.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Bundesliga club Hoffenheim is keen on signing Luke Thomas. Romano mentions that Hoffenheim has made several offers for the left-back, but none have met Leicester’s asking price.
Thomas had a standout performance against Aston Villa but has struggled for regular game time, making just five appearances in all competitions this season.
Ruud van Nistelrooy Faces Tough Squad Decisions at Leicester
There are several high-paid players at Leicester who aren’t seeing much action. According to Capology, Thomas earns £15,000 a week—modest by some standards, but it could be used more effectively elsewhere.
With new signing Coulibaly able to play both left-back and right-back, along with James Justin, Thomas’s place in the squad looks even more uncertain.
Whether Leicester are fighting relegation or not, Ruud van Nistelrooy will need to make some tough decisions on his squad. When offers come in for players like Thomas, moving them on for any fee should be seriously considered.
