A former Leicester City star could be set for an emotional return to the King Power Stadium after it emerged that he will be available for transfer in January.
The transfer window opens in just a matter of weeks and Ruud van Nistelrooy will keep an eye on who is available with the hope of bringing in new recruits to boost their Premier League survival hopes.
Leicester could target players out of contract in 2025 in order to keep the cost down as the Foxes aim to comply with profit and sustainability rules.
One of those linked with a move in January is someone that will be very familiar to Leicester fans.

His move hasn’t been a successful one though and he has largely been restricted to appearances off the bench and starts in the Conference League.

That hasn’t happened at Stamford Bridge as the Italian has preferred the likes of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia and the Chelsea boss admits it’s been difficult for the 26-year-old to adjust to a bit-part role.
He said: “Kiernan was, at Leicester, the most important player.
“He moved to Chelsea to be one other player. You have to accept that. Probably at the beginning, you struggle to accept that. Now it’s getting better. Me as a manager, I am very happy with Kiernan, no doubt.
“But for sure for him, he has to continue to work, wait for the chance and take it, in the way he is doing in the Conference League. He is doing OK.”
