The January transfer window will arrive before we even realise it, trust me. Time moves quickly, and we should probably already be thinking about our Christmas shopping too. If fortune smiles on us, there might just be a goalscoring present waiting under the Blue Army’s symbolic Christmas tree.
Will Leicester City bring in a reliable striker when the New Year comes around? I wouldn’t count on it if I were you! Could another loan signing arrive instead? Julian Carranza would likely have to leave for that to happen.
Championship sides are allowed to include five loan players in any given matchday squad. For the sake of discussion, a squad list can actually feature more than that number overall.
However, it’s proving incredibly tricky for City to bring in fresh faces right now. That’s due to LCFC’s challenging and uncertain financial situation. There are even suggestions that certain limitations are being enforced by the English Football League. Yet, there’s no official confirmation of that claim — the EFL website doesn’t indicate it’s the case.
Even so, Leicester supporters will probably need to remain patient as the club works to clear out unnecessary and underperforming players from this season’s underwhelming squad. If the Foxes manage to move on Patson Daka to Rangers — where a former managerial target, Danny Rohl, now sits in charge — that could mark the beginning of a much-needed reshuffle and open the door for a more fitting replacement.
Patson Daka transfer rumour suggests Leicester City have opportunity to offload striker to Danny Rohl’s Rangers:
According to an alleged “exclusive” from SportsBoom, the new Gers boss is keen on securing Daka’s signature. Rohl reportedly could have been the man to rescue Leicester at one point — now he might be the one to save them from Daka’s misfiring form!
“New Rangers boss Danny Rohl is eyeing Leicester City striker Patson Daka as a new signing. Daka, in the final year of his contract, is attracting interest from Rohl who sees him as a perfect fit for Scottish football. The move could provide Daka with a platform to resurrect his career after a muted spell at Leicester.”
For those unaware, Daka failed to make an impact in the Premier League. On top of that, he’s now seriously struggling in the Championship. With his contract nearing its end, a sale would be the best possible outcome.
