Free agents Leicester City could sign outside transfer window
Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive highlights the out of contract players who could still end up at the King Power Stadium even though summer transfer window has closed
They are prevented from adding more recruits to their team if they so desire.
During the summer transfer window, Enzo Maresca brought in nine new players. As the new manager updated his team, Harry Winks, Conor Coady, Callum Doyle, Mads Hermansen, Stephy Mavididi, Cesare Casadei, Yunus Akgun, Abdul Fatuwu, and Tom Cannon all arrived before the September 1 deadline.
A problem for City would be the impact any late arrival would have on their 25-man squad submitted to the EFL. A senior player would have to be omitted to accommodate any newcomers. Only under-21s players, such as deadline day signing Tom Cannon, do not have to be included.
However, the free agent market is strong this year so, with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at the players released by Premier League and Championship clubs this summer, plus a select few from around the world, who are still available….
