Premier League free agents: The Liverpool and Arsenal players Leicester City can sign for…

Leicester City have plenty to think about as they prepare for their return to the Championship.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's position remains in doubt, and there's their recent PSR charge and impending independent tribunal.

Aside from all that, there's the matter of which players will be staying at the club and which need replacing - by whichever manager is in control at the King Power Stadium.

Most of City's erstwhile Premier League rivals have confirmed their released and retained list, meaning there are plenty of free agents to consider.

Here's the latest state of play - would any do a job for City? Let us know in the comments section below.
