According to reports, Leicester City declined bids for one of their emerging Foxes. However, the player in question might not be who you anticipate. Offers reportedly surfaced from the overly enthusiastic, hopeful yet ultimately unready Manchester United.
Not to mention the cautious and hesitant Arsenal under Mikel Arteta making inquiries at King Power Stadium. The target of these so-called elite clubs: a teenage LCFC midfielder. What did the Premier League sides propose to the East Midlands outfit? Is the interest now finished, or will they come back? And what are we to make of it all?
Leicester City conduct acceptable transfer window with sales exceeding expectations and reasonable signings:
Leicester fans were anxious heading into the summer. Extremely anxious! Though standout playmaker Bilal El Khannouss made his departure much smoother for the Blue Army fan base after he seemingly demanded a transfer.
The former Genk player was even rumored to threaten the Leicestershire club with a refusal to play if forced to remain on Filbert Way. Wow. So we’re relieved he’s gone, to say the least!
Elsewhere, the recruitment team succeeded in moving almost everyone we hoped they would. Although Patson Daka remains.
A trio of loanees joined LCFC as well: Jordan James, Julián Carranza, and Aaron Ramsey. I believe they bring respective technical skill, pace, and the vitality needed.
Foxes fend off interest from Arsenal and Manchester United for rising star Louis Page
Another player who could have reportedly departed during the transfer window was Page. The adaptable midfielder is another emerging talent at Leicester this season.

It’s clear why the City leadership opted to reject bids from the Red Devils and the Gunners. Journalist Pete O’Rourke states offers were made. Page apparently turned down a professional contract offer from LCFC recently.
