Leicester City are well and truly in a relegation battle as they look to avoid an immediate return to the second tier.
The Foxes changed their manager early in the season, replacing Steve Cooper with current boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Funds will be available for the Dutchman as Leicester do everything they can to secure their Premier League status but they may be able to generate some extra cash with the sale of some first-team stars.
But which players should the Foxes cash in on in the January transfer window?
Three players Leicester must try and sell in January

Since Van Nistelrooy’s appointment in November, Wout Faes has found his place in the starting XI under threat and has had to settle for a place on the bench, occasionally coming on as a substitute.
The Belgium international has been below-par all season long and at fault for numerous mistakes across the backline.
Defence is an area where Leicester can improve in and the Foxes could target the centre-back position in January.
Faes still has some monetary value about him and as a fully fledged international, could still be wanted by other clubs.

The midfielder came through the Leicester academy but has never really managed to hold down a regular spot in the first team.
Hamza Choudhury is now the wrong side of 25 and playing week-in-week-out should be a priority of his.
Choudhury was one of two Foxes players who took 60 minutes to make a tackle in the defeat against Newcastle earlier this month, highlighting his lack of quality at the elite level.
Given that he has over 100 appearances for Leicester, he could be handy for any promotion-chasing Championship side.
Tom Cannon
Tom Cannon may be out on loan right now, but that shouldn’t stop Leicester from listening to offers.
Cannon is Stoke City’s top scorer and the third best scorer in the Championship.
There will be plenty arguing that he should be given another chance at the King Power Stadium but the reality is gametime will be hard to come.
Plenty of clubs are interested in the Republic of Ireland international’s services and the Foxes have the chance to pocket a decent fee while his stock is still high.
