Leicester City transfer news latest as goalkeeper linked and bargain midfielder deal
Leicester City are active in the January transfer window as they look to source new recruits who can inject life into Ruud Van Nistelrooy's survival push. The Foxes are in a severe slump having lost seven straight league games, culminating in a double defeat at home to Crystal Palace and West Ham this past week.
City have added right-back Woyo Coulibaly from Parma in a deal which is expected to cost around £3m but more deals are expected to be pursued. Existing players, meanwhile, could yet leave the club.
Here is the latest transfer news and gossip involving the proposed ins and outs at the King Power Stadium.
Edouard update
City’s transfer plans could receive a significant boost after MLS side Atlanta United reportedly made a £15m offer for striker Odsonne Edouard.
Edouard has not played a single minute under Ruud van Nistelrooy and there is little reason to retain him for the second half of the season. If he left, it would open up a Premier League loan slot for City, with clubs only permitted to have two loans from rival clubs at any one time, and with the other space already filled by Facundo Buonanotte.
Small moolah for Moder
Leicester City are reportedly battling with Everton to sign Jakub Moder this month.
According to CaughtOffside, Brighton are willing to accept cut-price offers for the midfielder who is out of contract this summer.
It is claimed that the Foxes and Everton, now managed by David Moyes, have already made their enquiries. But Dutch giants Feyenoord have also been linked with Moder amid claims that a bid of £2m to £3m would be enough to secure his services.
Moder ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee during a match against Norwich City in April 2022 which kept him sidelined for 18 months.

Goalkeeper links
Both City and relegation rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers have been credited with an interest in goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic this month; the 32-year-old plays for Leganes in La Liga and has recently helped them to 1-0 wins over both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Serbian international Dmitrovic, who was previously in England with Charlton Athletic in 2015, has spent time in his career more recently with Sevilla and Eibar in Spain. He joined newly promoted Leganes on a free transfer in the summer and has impressed as they battle to remain in Spain's top flight.
Leicester have had to chop and change their keepers this season; each of Mads Hermansen, Jakub Stolarczyk and Danny Ward have made appearances, while Van Nistelrooy also has Daniel Iversen at his disposal.
