Leicester City have had a magnificent season so far and Brendan Rodgers deserves great credit for all he’s achieved with the Foxes to date.
In order for them to maintain their impressive league position, it’s widely thought that they may need to strengthen during this transfer window, but where do the supporters believe the money would be best spent?
Indeed, LCFCFoxes posed the question to their followers on Twitter and it appears many of them were unanimous in their decision to call for attacking reinforcements.
Will LCFC do any significant business during this transfer window?
Yes
No

Striker to support Vardy

What do we think?
Jamie Vardy has scored an unbelievable 17 Premier League goals so far this season. Those calling for the club to sign a striker believe that Vardy requires greater support as he is often too heavily relied upon.
Kelechi Iheanacho has provided back-up to the former England striker this season but the general consensus is that the Foxes need somebody more consistent. The Nigerian arrived from Manchester City back in 2017 but has failed to live up to his reputation during his time at the King Power Stadium – although it appears Rodgers is getting the best out of him at the moment, with five goals in seven appearances to date across all competitions.
One of the few criticisms that could, perhaps, be levelled at Rodgers’ side is that they lack natural width in their midfield and so it’s no surprise to see so many desperate to see a winger come in. The January window is notoriously a difficult one and so whilst the Foxes are understood to be keen on improving their squad in every transfer window, it remains to be seen whether any significant transfers will take place.
