During the January transfer window, Leicester City may add a second defender to Ruud van Nistelrooy’s squad.
Even though the Foxes defeated Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup this past weekend, their Premier League problems remain a serious worry.
Leicester, who are presently ranked 19th in the top division, need three points if they are to start making any kind of survival effort against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
Only Wolverhampton Wanderers have given up more goals than them this season, which has been their major problem.
But with Woyo Coulibaly poised to join Leicester from Parma, Van Nistelrooy and company should soon address their defensive shortcomings.
However, the Foxes have now received more support as they pursue a different target that they have considered over the past month.
Valentin Gomez received a transfer boost from Leicester City.
Since Van Nistelrooy moved to the King Power Stadium, the Foxes have been connected to numerous centre backs.
According to reports from late December, Leicester was reportedly one of the teams vying for Valentin Gomez and was reportedly planning an £8 million move.
Amidst Foxes connections, Gomez discussed his future and acknowledged his desire to play in Europe.
“I think I deserve a vacation, so I’m going to take one first,” he remarked. Over the year, I played a lot of games.
“After that, I’ll see what choice I make regarding my future. The truth is that I want to keep improving in European football and find out whether any clubs are interested in signing me.
But after that, it appeared that the Argentine would remain in South America, joining Cruzeiro, a Brazilian team.
However, according to Pasion Fortinera, Gomez is now “in the plans” of Leicester, Bologna, and two Brazilian teams after a deal with Cruzeiro fell through.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s remarks regarding transfers to Leicester City
Fans would undoubtedly want to see players signed as quickly as possible given the Midlands team’s dismal league performance.
Van Nistelrooy discussed Leicester’s transfer plans during his pre-Crystal Palace press conference on Monday, and it looks like a deal for Coulibably is imminent.
The Dutchman implied that the team might sign a player this week when he did so.
“A transfer this week could occur, but we have to wait and see how things are going,” he stated.
That’s why winning and performing are the main priorities. The next step is to sign athletes.
