Everything Brendan Rodgers has said about Leicester City's summer transfer window plans
The transfer window is not too far away with Leicester City expected to be active once it opens at the end of the season.
City made five new additions to their squad in Patson Daka, Boubakary Soumare, Ryan Bertrand, Jannik Vestergaard and Ademola Lookman, last year. The summer transfer window was also the first in a number of years where the club didn’t make a big-money sale.
