Three signings Leicester City NEED before the end of the transfer window
By Joel Edkins
1. Noni Madueke – PSV
The England U21 international, who began his career at Spurs, is currently plying his trade with PSV in the Eredivisie and has attracted the attention of a whole host of clubs including Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Man United.
The 19-year-old winger has impressed greatly in his time in Holland and his current side are under no illusion that the youngster is keen to explore options elsewhere. The fee rumoured to be needed to prize Madueke away from PSV has fluctuated but with the club exiting the Champions League, the asking price has reportedly lowered to between £30-34million.

Regarding Leicester, their interest is widely known, and the player would no doubt be the perfect addition to an area of the pitch that is of well-documented concern.
With Rodgers being forced to play Ayoze Pérez out-wide to paper over the cracks, it is glaringly obvious that this is a position that needs urgent attention.
Another setback for the Foxes is that Madueke has just penned a new long-term deal with PSV, probably taking the price up and out of Leicester City’s range.
