Unfortunately, the chance for Leicester City Football Club to begin making improvements to their attacking capability was recently stolen away at the last moment. Some people may have adjudged that it was a blessing in disguise for City coaches to notice an injury sustained by Michail Antonio whilst training with the Foxes. That view is totally understandable given Antonio’s injury problems over his long career. The ex-West Ham United striker was also involved in an awful car crash in his Ferrari only just over a year ago. Yet having the Jamaica international fully fit at King Power Stadium would have possibly been perfect for the Leicestershire team.
With that door firmly slammed shut in LCFC recruitment staff’s faces, according to boss of the side Marti Cifuentes, other options must be pursued? Why so? Well, loaned attacker Julian Carranza was ineffectual and has now left LE2. Meanwhile Patson Daka is not considered a viable choice for an English Football League Championship outfit, let alone in the Premier League. Jordan Ayew, who reportedly prefers to play on the wing, is often wholly underwhelming too. So who could Cifuentes turn to? Hopefully Leicester will eye somebody who is not currently in the squad: makeshift stopgaps within the roster have been fairly uninspiring.

The truth about the new transfer rumour connecting Hammers centre forward Callum Wilson to Leicester City
Word is that Wilson could leave West Ham due to contract issues. On the surface, this could well provide the Foxes with an opportunity to pounce.
Wilson, an England-capped and senior professional, would seemingly be a consummate selection for the City front line. Though, sadly, he is unlikely to join the contemporary LCFC.
First of all, the former Bournemouth and Newcastle United man would think of himself as an EPL-standard baller. Secondly, organisations in that division will be keen.

Encouragingly for Foxes fans, Leicester supporter and transfer-specialist journalist Ben Jacobs suggests that the player, who turns age 34 in February of this year, ‘is on the club’s radar’. Although, it is not all good news for the Blue Army fan base.
Due to financial restrictions or restraints, The King Power International Group-owned team would have to wait until Wilson is a free agent in order to attempt to strike a deal. The East London outfit are said to be ‘in talks to terminate’ Wilson’s existing agreement.
However, there is supposedly interest from the stupidly rich Saudi Arabian league. This development will feasibly and plausibly price Leicester out:
The Saudi Pro League are looking at Callum Wilson, Al-Shabab and possibly Al-Ettifaq, but keep an eye on the Championship.
“I’m told Callum Wilson is also on Leicester’s radar, assuming he becomes a free agent, because they won’t want to, or be able to pay any kind of fee to West Ham.Ben Jacobs – FLW (talkSPORT
