Emil Riis, Louis Page, Warren O'Hora, George Dobson and Leicester City's transfer state of play | OneFootball

Leicester City expect to be active on deadline day before the window shuts at 11pm, with most business planned ahead of their meeting with Plymouth Argyle. Russell Martin wants the right additions, not panic buys, and two or three moves remain possible alongside outgoings and Under-21 loans.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, City have reshaped the squad after relegation, making 10 signings this summer. The goalkeeping unit looks settled, with Alex McCarthy and Franco Ravizzoli in and Jakub Stolarczyk having kept a clean sheet at MK Dons.

Defence is the priority following Ben Nelson’s ACL injury. Full-backs are well stocked through Christian McFarlane and Jayden Joseph, and Martin wants an experienced centre-back, with Ilari Kangasniemi already in and Wout Faes’ exit said to be imminent. Warren O'Hora is being monitored amid suggestions of a six-figure offer.

Harry Souttar remains in the squad. Sheffield United’s interest has quietened, yet a late approach cannot be ruled out.

In midfield, Louis Page has excelled as the deep-lying playmaker during Oliver Skipp’s suspension, while Sammy Braybrooke has impressed and needs his contract addressing before next summer. Martin wants greater experience, with links to George Dobson and Matty James following Hamza Choudhury’s departure.

Up front, Admir Bristric has shown promise, and City want a different profile to complement him. Emil Riis has emerged as an option at Bristol City, and is understood to be available and open to leaving after Lorent Tolaj and Dom Ballard arrived. A striker remains firmly on the agenda before the deadline.
