The Foxes languish in 18th spot in the Premier League after losing two of their opening three games in the competition.
Brendan Rodgers’ side’s 2-1 defeat to Southampton on Saturday further highlighted his team’s need for new signings.
They’ve only brought in one player this summer so far, and need cash to rejuvenate their depleted squad.

This will allow Rodgers to bring in a slew of new stars with a right-winger at the top of the list, it was also stated.
The Foxes’ new stance will be music to Fofana’s ears as he’s urged the club to let him leave for the Blues.
