A New Defender Coming to Leicester!?

Transfer news and round-up by Sam Holloway

Transfer Roundup so far

So, as we are in January, The transfer window is open for business, but will we see our Foxes make a signing?! Will any players go?! We are, as i type this, sitting 9 days into the window and there has barely been a sniff of new players coming in… will we be waiting to get rid of so called ‘dead wood’ at the club?

Players like Tielemans, Mendy, Perez, Soyuncu, Vestergaard and a handful more are out of contract with Leicester at the end of the 22/23 season, but will we try and make some money back on those players this window?! What is the club waiting for?!

The clubs around us are looking looking at making new signings this window to pursue their position in the Premier league for the 23/24 season, will we be doing the same?!

Victor Kristiansen – stats & facts

So, our first real sniff of signing someone is 20 year old Danish LB Victor Kristiansen from Copenhagen.

He was born and raised in Copenhagen and has worked his way through the academy to the first team since 2020, making 51 appearances for them in the Danish Superliga, still making his way through the Danish U21’s squad making a handful of appearances for Denmark’s youth team.

He has also played in a handful of Champions League football matches for Copenhagen.

Leicester have rumoured to put in a bit for him for £8 Million, but reportedly they want 10-15 Million for the young Left-Back, is he worth that kind of money!?

Fans Views

“Personally and I have been saying this for a while, we need to start investing in players with experience. Don’t get me wrong I love when we sign ‘nobodies’ from lower league clubs in Europe, like Mahrez, Kante, Fofana etc but at the moment we need proven players. Our recent signings that ‘could be’ great have NOT worked… Daka, Soumare both for me don’t even walk into the championship let alone our team. And the club clearly have a money problem as they’re trying to sign Victor for £8 Million which is only 2 Million less than asking price, which in football terms is peanuts, but we need a new LB here and now!!” – Sam

“We need players right now. Yes, get him on board, but the club needs to stop messing around with a few quid here and there. we wait too long for transfers and it always costs us, we need players right now to play next match. faffing with money is a big problem for us, too much rubbish dead wood in the club and not enough coming in, we are in a mess!” – Phil
