Leicester City deadline day, Foxes weigh three additions as departures loom before 11pm | OneFootball

Leicester City face a frantic deadline day before tonight’s trip to Plymouth Argyle, with incomings and exits possible. According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, the Foxes could bring in up to three players before the 11pm cut-off, a centre-back, a defensive midfielder and a striker.

Hamza Choudhury left the club yesterday to join Sheffield United on a permanent deal. Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes are expected to depart.

Hibernian’s Warren O’Hora and Rangers defender John Souttar have been linked to bolster Russell Martin’s backline. Bristol City forward Emil Riis has also emerged as a possible centre-forward option after losing his place at Ashton Gate.

Martin said last week Leicester were hopeful of adding an experienced centre-back before the window shuts, and he felt it could be done by the end of the window, probably. If not, he praised Bade and Luke for stepping in on Tuesday and suggested they might continue there. He added the Wout situation remains ongoing and that any recruit must be desperate to play for Leicester and join the project.

Further business could depend on movement elsewhere as the clock ticks down. Focus also turns to tonight’s League One meeting with Plymouth, with final decisions to be made before 11pm.
