Seems we are close to a deal for Lucas Perez. In typical Leicester fashion another guy I've not heard of, but I know we were linked to him earlier in the window so could be one of Walsh's picks?

Adds more options going forward but could we be seeing someone leaving do we reckon?
Another foward coming in?

I've also seen we are still after Keane from Burnley?

Yeah, apparently we were going back in with a 17 million bid

We're obviously not confident in Hernandez covering the centre back role of we're still in for Keane.
Poor value at 17m if that's true. Especially when you look at what Morgan and Huth cost!! That said, the transfer market is a different beast now.
If Perez comes in I'd expect to see Ulloa leave.

Another one, competing with Juve and Inter for this one.

And today I read somewhere that Slimani had handed in a transfer request and we're linked with him too!

Does this mean Perez and Barbosa or just one of them? The Perez deal said it was close but are we now turning our attention to the other guy?
Neither look like a replacement for Ulloa though so I wouldn't expect either signing to mean he was off somewhere. Slimani on the other hand definitely would be.

Isn't Barbosa a winger? Surely a Mahrez replacement.

He's a number 10 according to what I've read so not a winger I don't think.

Ah fair enough.

Who knows though really, what you read is usually nonsense, he could be a right back for all I know.
