Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has big plans for the summer market.
An injury list that has left – at different times – Jamie Vardy, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Wilfred Ndidi, James Justin, Timothy Castagne and Ricardo Pereira on the sidelines has hampered Leicester's ambitions, while none of last summer's signings have made a decisive impact on the starting XI.
It is this issue which Leicester are keen to rectify, with the club targeting a centre-back, a dynamic central midfielder and a right-sided attacker who can instantly improve the team, rather than simply providing back-up for current first-choice players, says the Daily Mail.
After the low point of Leicester's season, the 4-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup in February, Rodgers said: "Nine of the 11 players who started at Forest were here when I joined.
"For the squad to evolve and become better you need to add better players. The club have been super-supportive since I've been here.
"Money will always talk and Leicester have always worked that side of the market (player sales) very well. Players will improve and then want to move on, and when that happens the club will maximise what they can get."
