Tom Wilson-Brown and Jake Evans are closing in on Leicester City exits as Russell Martin's squad continues to take shape ahead of the League One season. Wilson-Brown started pre-season with Leicester and played in the friendlies against Northampton, Bristol Rovers and Burton Albion. He didn't travel to Spain for the warm-weather training camp, with Martin confirming that the club had received offers for the 21-year-old. Last week, Martin revealed that there was interest in the defender and that it was likely that his future would be elsewhere. “He wants to get his career started being a regular starting player and not a squad player because he’s had a taste of first-team football," the Foxes boss told LeicestershireLive.

He added: "We’ve had a lot of interest and a few offers now that haven’t quite got there. So I’m sure that will advance again at some point and if it doesn’t, he’s here, he’s one of us, so we’ll use him as and when we need him." Now, League One rivals Stockport County are closing in on the permanent signing of Wilson-Brown. Journalist Pete O'Rourke has reported that a deal has been agreed to bolster the Hatters' backline after Callum Connolly's move to Bradford. Evans is also set to leave the club this week, although on loan. The 17-year-old is joining League Two side Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan and will join Kirsten Otchere at Whaddon Road after undergoing a medical on Monday morning. The forward spent the second half of last season with Northampton Town in League One, scoring two goals. He has been used throughout pre-season but was left out of the squad for the Carabao Cup win over the Cobblers. Wes Burns and Will Alves are expected to be Martin's two senior options on the right wing this season. Burns joined for £75k from Ipswich Town last week and made his debut over the weekend.
