James Justin move to Leeds is close to be confirmed. Independent reports on the move today, confirming the deal is done. Leicester will receive £8million, but the fee could rise to £10million with add ons. Justin captained Leicester in the first two league games this season. However, he was not in the squad for the Charlton game.
Leicester do have Ricardo Pereira as a first choice in the right back position. Hamza Choudhury playing there in the match vs. Charlton. Woyo Coulibaly and Olabade Aluko are other candidates to consider.
As it looks at the moment, Wout Faes, Bilal El Khannouss, Silko Thomas, Harry Winks are other players seen as potential departures, following James Justin out the door. This is if a bid is acceptable and Leicester believe a move will be the best solution.
Marti Cifuentes knows the quality of footballers. He needs to make a number of special decisions. He must make space for the younger generation. He should also be able to make additions.

There are a few soft rumours out there, linking Leicester with different players. A forward is said to be a priority. Millwall attacker Mihailo Ivanovic is one being talked up. Another is Metz 18 year old sensation Idrissa Gueye. This is far from a settled affair as other clubs are in the chase, Brentford being seen as the frontrunner.
Patson Daka, Jordan Ayew are still at the club. Nathan Opuku is a player who should not be faulted. He has played at the highest level in Belgium with OH Leuven. Two goals in the U21 game vs. Liverpool shows his strength.
