How Leicester City's 25-man squad will look after the transfer window

Brendan Rodgers wants a shake-up of his Leicester City squad this transfer window, and while little to no progress has been made so far, there is still more than two months until the market closes.

But come the morning of September 2, what could City’s squad look like? Here is an overview for each area of the side.

It’s the only department of the squad to see some change so far, with City announcing that Eldin Jakupovic is to leave at the conclusion of his contract this summer. That means there is a gap that needs filling.

Before then, City need to settle on what’s happening with their number one and his deputy. The club have been keeping their eye on the goalkeeper market, suggesting that Kasper Schmeichel’s time at the club won’t extend beyond the end of his deal next summer. A change between the sticks this window feels unlikely at the moment, given the need for transfers elsewhere.

Danny Ward has signed a new contract and so he will be sticking around as the number two, and then it’s a case of who backs up the Dane and the Welshman. Employing Daniel Iversen or Jakub Stolarczyk to do so, when there is so much promise for the pair, seems unlikely, as their season will be better served out on loan getting game-time.

In that case, the likeliest scenarios are that City will let development squad goalkeeper Brad Young provide back-up or they will dip into the market to find a veteran to fill the third-choice role. Tasking 20-year-old Young would have the benefit of saving money and saving a spot in the 25-man squad.

A new centre-back is a priority for City this summer, the club seeking a player, preferably left-sided, in the mould of Wesley Fofana. They will likely be a straight swap for Caglar Soyuncu, whose future is
