Leicester City Targets Chancel Mbemba in January Window

Leicester City is actively seeking to strengthen their defense ahead of the January transfer window and has identified Chancel Mbemba, currently with Marseille, as a potential target. The Foxes have struggled defensively, conceding the joint-most goals in the league this season, and have gone five matches without a win, placing them in the relegation zone. Mbemba, who previously played for Newcastle United, is in need of regular game time and could be a low-risk acquisition for Leicester at a valuation of €5 million. Additionally, Leicester is looking to leverage connections with Manchester United for potential loan signings to bolster their squad further. As they prepare to face Manchester City, Leicester hopes to have veteran striker Jamie Vardy available to inspire a turnaround amidst their current form struggles. The club's transfer strategy will focus on both defensive and attacking reinforcements as they aim for Premier League survival.
