"I’d love to be in that position where the team is adding because if I could add to this group, as it’s growing and developing, then it’d be really, really exciting. “But I really can’t lose sleep and pine for my fast right winger. But will I work with what I have? Of course I will. But I’m not one who’s going to sit here and kill my board. "Would I want a better squad?

Newcastle United transfer target, James Maddison, has reacted on Instagram to Kasper Schmeichel leaving Leicester City.

But could Maddison’s head be turned if he sees key players of the Leicester dressing room leave? For the Toon Army faithful, they will be hoping Maddison’s head is turned and he might start to think that the future is brighter in Black and White colours. Newcastle are knocking on the door for the Englishman’s signature – two bids have already been submitted to those in the King Power Stadium boardroom and the answer is no.

Chelsea are continuing their attempts to bring in another center back this summer. They have begun negotiations with Leicester City for Wesley Fofana, ...

Chelsea will be hoping they can leverage this desire and have Fofana push for the move, potentially knocking his price down to a more acceptable figure. Chelsea are hoping for a fee of around £70 million, so there is still a fair bit of negotiating to be done between the two clubs to close this transfer. Leicester are known to drive a hard bargain for their players, with Harry Maguire and Ben Chilwell the most recent examples.

The time has come for Kasper Schemichel to leave Leicester City after 11 years. He made sure he addressed Foxes supporters after his transfer to OGC Nice.

Not stopping with just a video message, the former Leicester captain took to Twitter, posting a thirteen-tweet thread, showcasing his favourite memories since joining the club in 2011. In a video uploaded to his Instagram page, Schmeichel said to Foxes followers: 45 minutes of a dull pre-season friendly cannot have been the farewell he wished for, nor was waving goodbye to a King Power Stadium which was nowhere near full capacity.

Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana wants to leave the King Power Stadium for Stamford Bridge. Transfer Talk is LIVE with the latest.

"Life gives me the right to come and play with Pumas and play at the Camp Nou to say goodbye," he said. The Stamford Bridge outfit are said to have already had two bids for Casadei rejected, and could need to offer a transfer fee of as much as £20m to entice the Nerazzurri to part with one of the most promising young players in Italian football. Thomas Tuchel is said to be driving Chelsea's interest in the 25-year-old former Ajax prodigy, and the Blues are looking for assurances that negotiations won't drag on in light of of several of Barca's signings this summer devolving into long-running sagas. 16.34 BST: FC Salzburg forward Benjamin Sesko has attracted plenty of interest in recent weeks, and Chelsea are also keen to land the 19-year-old striker, according to Fabrizio Romano. It is reported that a meeting took place between his representatives and the Blues last week, while Manchester United have held talks on multiple occasions over a potential deal. However, they are close to getting their man and a deal worth €35m plus a further €5m in bonuses has been accepted. Then the 39-year-old recently signed for Mexican side Pumas UNAM on a free transfer after he was released. Barca have placed Depay on the transfer list and want €20m for his transfer. News of the move comes as the Giallorossi stepped up their pursuit of Georginio Wijnaldum, with reports on Tuesday revealing that he had accepted a switch to the Estadio Olimpico. After signing 18-year-old goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina from the Chicago Fire and agreeing a deal with Aston Villa to add 18-year-old midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka on Tuesday, the Blues are now setting their sights on 19-year-old Inter Milan midfielder Cesare Casadei, the Evening Standard reports. While Inter are prepared to challenge for the Serbia international's signature, their move for him is said to hinge on whether Milan Skriniar leaves the San Siro amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain. Sosa is known for his ability to make an impact from further up the pitch when deployed as a wing-back, having contributed to nine goals in 28 league appearances last season. This means that Blues manager Thomas Tuchel remains on the hunt for someone to battle it out with Thiago Silva alongside new signing Kalidou Koulibaly.

Chelsea have submitted an opening bid of £63million for Wesley Fofana but the proposal was rejected out of hand by Leicester, according to reports.

I know that's the intention of the club." The Blues have been trying to pull off a number of high-profile transfers this week as their excessive summer spending continues. "Naturally he will attract the interest of other clubs. "Naturally, he's a top talent but he's not for sale. Chelsea do have other centre-backs that are likely to enter their thinking of a move for Fofana fails to come off.

Leicester City transfer news via LeicestershireLive as Foxes reportedly reject offer for France international defender.

Leicester will not want to lose a key defender, having already seen Kasper Schmeichel leave while facing the likelihood of selling Youri Tielemans. Fofana dropped clues on social media earlier this week to suggest he wants to move to Stamford Bridge, though he also liked a tweet suggesting fans shouldn't read too much into his posts. The Blues are said to have made an opening offer of €75million (£62.8m) for the 21-year-old, which was "immediately" rejected.

Kasper Schmeichel is on his way to Nice. If you'd asked Schmeichel, 11 long years ago, if he thought joining Leicester gave him a shot at a league title, he'd probably have said "Absolutely!" He was being brought in by Sven-Goran Eriksson, after all, ...

Short version: A lot of borrowing, a lot of promises, and the still-looming threat of being unable to register some or all of their new signings in time for the beginning of the season. It is not a coincidence that the three ‘rebel’ clubs did not play any of Europe’s other top clubs during their respective visits to the US." A smattering of Europa League and Europa Conference qualifiers tonight. And then, in the final, Mexico scored four while Brazil could only manage three, to the delight of 110,000 home fans. The chaos option is that Manchester City have come in late with another, bigger bid, and Brighton are desperately riffling through everything they've signed in search of a loophole. On this day in 1999, Brazil and Mexico walked out at the Azteca to contest the Confederations' Cup final. The nightmare scenario is that he gets his wish, but Leicester have to cram it all into the final few weeks of the window, with the season already going. But, but, but, but, but Fabrizio Romano said "here we go"! This is the most trustworthy voice in football! Perhaps Brighton just want to wait until the deal to bring Levi Colwill the other way has also reached "here we go" status. And Leicester were in the Championship, a notoriously open league. The risk with undroppable goalkeepers is that they hang around too long, and everybody has to make polite conversation while they clatter around destroying their own reputation. Championship winner, Premier League winner, FA Cup winner: it's a pretty remarkable return for a goalkeeper playing outside the biggest teams at this point in football history.

Leicester have been there, got the points in the bag and finished in the top six under Brendan Rodgers twice in the last three seasons; Wesley Fofana and ...

And hey, it's not 5,000/1, but in what could be a strange, fatigue-led season, the 200/1 on Leicester winning the Premier League isn't the most far-fetched of theories. The odds available make out that Leicester are the 10th-best team in the Premier League. That has resulted in an absolutely monstrous 5/6 with Sky Bet there waiting to be snapped up on them finishing in the top 10. That could prove a massive advantage over the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United who at this stage will have at least 10 key players jetting off to play in Qatar. Only Liam Cooper and Jan Bednarek average more interceptions-per-90 of defenders to have played over 2,000 minutes since the start of last season in the Premier League than Fofana (2.27). At this stage, only Timothy Castagne and Youri Tielemans are certainties to be playing in Qatar. That is backed up by the raw numbers. When Rodgers' teams are at their best is when they defend aggressively and high up the pitch. Being able to legitimately forgive a downturn in performance using logical reasoning is a key trait of unearthing value in the betting markets across all sports. Having a fully-fit Fofana ready to go from the first whistle next season is an exciting prospect. And, Rodgers has not been afraid to go big when asked about the potential of Fofana. So, can we excuse them for such mediocrity for the majority of last season? All great pressing teams rank high in this department.

- Unfortunately, Leicester City vs Brentford will NOT be broadcast live on television in the UK. - King Power Stadium in Leicester is the allocated arena for this Premier League fixture and it can hold around 32,312 fans. There could be some moans and groans around the stadium as the Foxes are the ONLY side to have not signed a single player in all the top English leagues.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AND TOM COLLOMOSSE: Chelsea have firmed up their interest with an approach for Fofana who currently tops their list of centre-back targets.

Among other things, both Tuchel and new owner Todd Boehly had also been keen for him to stay. Leicester have knocked back Chelsea's offer, with boss Brendan Rodgers insisting three times on Monday that Fofana was not for sale. Newcastle have also enquired about winger Harvey Barnes, valued in excess of £60m. A move back to London and to Chelsea to spearhead their attack is one that could have appeal for the experienced striker. Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel have firmed up their interest with an approach for Fofana Chelsea have had an opening £60million offer for Wesley Fofana rejected - but Leicester fear the Londoners are willing to go beyond the £80m world record fee for a defender in order to land the Frenchman.
