The Foxes, under new manager Steve Cooper, are eager to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season, and Soule has emerged as a prime target. Cooper had his first opportunity to assess his squad during Saturday’s behind-closed-doors friendly against Villarreal, which Leicester won 2-1 courtesy of goals from Jamie Vardy and Stephy Mavididi.

Following the sale of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea for £30 million, Leicester have made four signings this summer, including permanent deals for Abdul Fatwau, Caleb Okoli, Micheal Golding, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. However, Cooper’s attention remains focused on Soule, and Romano’s update will be closely monitored by the Leicester hierarchy.

According to Romano, Soule’s intentions have been revealed, providing Leicester with a clearer understanding of the player’s willingness to join the club. As the transfer window intensifies, Leicester will be keen to convince Soule to make the switch to the King Power Stadium.”
