Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has hinted he wants to sign a right-winger.

But the Northern Irishman insists he will work with what he has at King Power Stadium, with the Foxes having failed to sign a single player so far this summer.

"Every manager in this league wants a better squad," Rodgers said. "But I'm not one who's going to sit here and kill my board. I'm not going to do that. Would I want a better squad? 100 per cent, absolutely. But will I work with what I have? Of course I will.

"I can see it [what will take City to the next level]. But Santa Claus isn't going to come for me. I knew exactly what we needed six months ago, what we wanted, what the team is crying out for.

"But I really can't lose sleep and pine for my fast right winger. Because if I can't get it, I have to make do the best I can. I'd love to be in that position where the team is adding because if I could add to this group, as it's growing and developing, then it'd be really, really exciting. If I can't, I'm still excited to work with what I have."
