Arsenal are, according to Fabrizio Romano, soon to confirm the signing of Eberechi Eze. This will of course again set fire to the rumour of Bilal El Khannouss to join Crystal Palace.
They will receive a fee in the region of £60million for Eze. This will hopefully see them ready to pay what Leicester are wanting, something in the region of £30million.
The fact that Bilal El Khannouss was substituted after first half vs. Preston, might be more of emotional act by Marti Cifuentes, than a reason to take him off. When you sub your best player and lack belief in his ability to turn his game around in the second half, you have done something very strange. This change could have been a clear reason for Leicester not getting any points. Remember who had both assists against Sheffield Wednesday, both being made in the second half.
We know Marti Cifuentes can be emotional and heated at times. This is nothing new. If he believes Bilal is soon to depart, then that change can be logical. If not, it makes no sense at all.
Reports this week have suggested that the club has received a bid for midfielder Bilal El Khannouss.

Leicester will not let Bilal leave without a correct offer being made, reaching the valuation of the player. Bilal himself has according to trusted sources made it clear he would favour a move to Crystal Palace.
We all know what agents are doing in the game today. They will give advice to the player. Of course, seeing transfers done is something that they like to see happen for the obvious reasons.
