Even though the summer transfer market is closed, Leicester City is still trying to strengthen their team.
Leicester City has only managed one point from their first three Premier League games, which is a lacklustre start to the season.
Following a hectic transfer window in which the Foxes signed nine players, the team lost to Fulham and Aston Villa after drawing with Tottenham Hotspur on the first day of the season.
Even though the summer transfer market is closed, Steve Cooper is still considering adding a former Premier League winner to the team as a free agent.
Leicester City wants a Premier League-winning free agent in a late transfer.
Even though the King Power Stadium has seen a large influx of new visitors, there is always room for development.
The central defensive unit is one area where some Leicester supporters feel there is room for improvement, and there are rumours that Joel Matip is being considered.
The 33-year-old, who had a major role in Liverpool’s triumph in both the Premier League and the Champions League, left the team in the summer after his contract expired and is now free to sign elsewhere.
Matip is reportedly coveted by Leicester, AFC Bournemouth, Fulham, and West Ham United, which might lead to a bidding battle, according to Caught Offside.
Leicester City may delay completing the transfer due to Joel Matip’s injury worries.
Despite Matip’s skill and experience, his injury history may make Leicester look elsewhere if they decide to enter the free agent market.
Matip, 33, has an ACL injury that kept him out of action for most of the previous season. Concerns about his health and ability to recuperate could factor into the decision.
When healthy, though, the former Cameroon international’s skill set could prove to be a major asset for the Foxes in their fight to stay in the league.
Matip has the ability to change Leicester’s current league record of not losing a game.
