Deals for Adam Hlzoek and Wilfred Zaha both broke down, while interest in Fotis Ioannidis seems to have cooled. Panathainkos wants in the region of £30m and the Foxes but attention has now reportedly turned to Santiago Gimenez.
Should be successful in their pursuit, signing Gimenez would be a statement addition and could go a long way in helping them avoid their battle against the drop.
So without further ado, here’s everything you need to know.
The Foxes face competition for the Mexico international’s signature.
Local rivals Nottingham Forest are interested and reportedly had a £23m bid knocked back before they chose to go for Eddie Nketiah of Arsenal instead.
Gimenez’s current employer, Feyenoord, is determined not to sell him and Dutch outlet recently reported that the 23-year-old is “definitely not moving” to Forest.
Feyenoord boss Brian Pirkse didn’t seem as confident but remained hopeful when asked earlier this window.
He said: “I have no idea. I hope he stays with us. But as long as the transfer window is open, it is naive to expect everyone to stay on board.
“Football is football, you never know. But the closer we get to the deadline, the better we can see the skeleton of the team. Santiago is fully motivated to play here and do his best.”
