Leicester City transfer news and rumours: £3m star edges closer to joining Foxes

Leicester City look closer than ever to securing their first signing of the transfer window.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has continuously remained coy on transfers this month as he tries to bring in the best players possible to the King Power Stadium.

There appears to be players on the way out too which will no doubt help to free up the Foxes’ wage bill and generate some much-needed funds to help recruit a better calibre of player.

Full-backs, a left winger and a forward seem to the priority on the market, but aside from Woyo Coulibaly, it seems that more are likely to head for the exit door.

With that, here is all the latest Leicester City transfer news and rumours on day 14 of the transfer window.

Leicester City choose Woyo Coulibaly over Kyle-Walker Peters

Woyo Coulibaly is edging closer to joining Leicester as the Foxes prepare to get their first signing over the line.

Coulibaly wasn’t in Parma’s squad for their clash against Genoa on Sunday and looks like he is only a few details away from becoming a Fox.

It’s since emerged that Leicester were also pondering Kyle Walker-Peters but decided not to go for him as they felt his price tag was too high for someone with less than six months of their contract remaining

There’s hope that Coulibaly will be a Leicester player by the weekend.
