Fran Vieites is no longer with Leicester. According to Leicestershire Live reporter Josh Holland, Vieites contract has been terminated. He joined the club last summer as a free agent, having earlier been with Real Betis. Vieites (27) is a good goalkeeper and at 1.96m one that have a good range. We wish Fran all the best on his adventure.
We just have to wait and see what Russell Martin will do, add another third choice, or just stay firm with Stolarczyk and McCarthy. Not the ideal situation as we feel there should be no uncertainty regarding who is your preferred first choice, that is not the case at the moment.
An earlier report suggested that Franco Ravizzoli could be on his way to Leicester. The Blackpool shotstopper appeared earlier in the week, as a potential signing for Russell Martin. Reluctant to see another experienced choice blocking a chance for a younger player to step up if needed, expected to see either Harry French or Stevie Bausor being that third alternative, only playing in emergancy situations.
Leicester are without a proper striker option at this point. Nathan Opoku is the only choice, with Liam Cullen being a alternative. Bobby De Cordova-Reid is also one being played, but in fearness far from the profile we would like to see in this position. News are that Bosnian U21 international Admir Bristric is close to signing. This is one of the major negatives seen since Russell Martin arrived, to wait so long to find those important strikers alternatives.
Leicester have been linked with different strikers: Laurent Tolaj, Dom Ballard, Elijah Adebayo, and Aribim Pepple are four names being frequently mentioned. Tolaj and Ballard have both joined Bristol City. Recent news indicates that Adebayo is no longer a trialist there, no more information about his current presence. Pepple has recently been linked with a move to Portsmouth.
Understand Admir Bristrić is awaiting a visa in Austria before travelling to England to complete his move to Leicester City.
No medical has taken place yet. The timeline for the visa being issued remains uncertain. As a Bosnian national, he requires a UK visa.#LCFC pic.twitter.com/xl1lHdq12N
Abdul Abdulmalik (23) is a non-league football attacker. He gained attention in last year’s playoffs, playing for Boreham Wood. A fast player an attractive player, previously representing Millwall at youth level. Late reports are that Leicester have placed a £3million for the player. Swedish top flight club Djurgarden has also been keen on the prospect, but their bid, believed to be in the region of £1million, has been turned down.
You can now look up a new and fresh list of our hot, cool and cold updates on all rumours and talk regarding new potential Leicester transfer additions.
We then have the following squad set up, looking close to get in the shape and form we were looking for;
Goalkeepers: Stolarczyk, McCarthy*, Defenders: Joseph, Coulibaly, McFarlane*, Thomas, Okoli, Nelson#, Souttar, Faes, Midfield: Skipp, Reid, Page, Braybrooke, Choudhury, Chaplin*, Forwards: Opoku, Cullen*, Watson*, Burns*, Mavididi, Alves, Other: G: Bauser, French, D: Wilson-Brown, Ali, Gray, Aluko, M: Golding, Neale, F: Hutchinson, Carr, Evans
#=Long term injury, *=New signing
We hope more changes will come, but it would be great if Russell Martin can keep Harry Souttar at the club this season. There’s are squad concern, as Ben Nelson’s injury makes a gap. Kevon Gray could be that fourth defensive option. There’s no new information on Tom Wilson-Brown and his possible departure, but he could serve as a reliable fourth choice for central defense as well.
