Van Nistelrooy desperately wants additions…
There’s a additional complication over Van Nistelrooy. It’s claimed that “a part of his negotiations earlier than agreeing to take over from Steve Cooper simply 12 video games into the season was that there could be funds obtainable on this window”.
That’s but to occur, with the Foxes solely signing Woyo Coulibaly up to now this winter, and desperately quick in assault as issues stand.

Shock as Leicester ace set to depart
That comes courtesy of a report from the Telegraph, who point to summer addition Caleb Okoli because the participant in query. The Italian centre-back arrived from Atalanta simply six months in the past, however has managed simply 48 minutes of soccer beneath Van Nistelrooy thus far, and is but to begin a sport for the Dutchman.
Hailed as a “really good” ball-player who “appeared like the true deal” of their Carabao Cup win over Tranmere Rovers in August, Okoli has did not kick on and now a recent twist has left him set to depart.

That in flip would go away the Foxes quick on the again for the second half of the season, and will clarify why they’re now targeting a centre-back within the remaining days of the window.
