Riley Carr is one of the players spotted in pre-season training. Tommy Neale another. Lorenz Hutchinson also in there, all having a chance to impress. Neale and Hutchinson are both England internationals at different youth levels. Carr, signed last summer from Hertford Town, having played at senior level with his former club.
Caleb Okoli and Woyo Coulibaly are both back in pre-season training. Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes are yet to be seen, both still under contract at the club.
Michael Golding is another youth prospect, as well as Silko Thomas and Jake Evans. These are special talents as Russell Martin are weighing up his candidates to be playing in the pre-season games coming up.
Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks are two quality midfielders being tipped for moves away. Middlesbrough and Cagliari said to be eager to sign them, but as we all know, they are still Leicester property and part of the pre-season training group.

There's a Pre-Season Pass, including all 6️⃣ games, available too 👇
With the addition of Danny Ings, as well as having Harry Souttar and Abdul Fatawu returning after being knocked out of the World Cup, there will be interesting updates to look for.
Panathinaikos looks to get a deal done for Victor Kristiansen. Their original offer was turned down, but they have come back with a deal that looks to be accepted by Leicester.
Some say Leicester are without strikers, but one is back, Nathan Opoku. Nathan signed a new contract at the club and could be on the move, but part of the pre-season training group. Kirsten Ortchere also takes part in the sessions.
The Jannik Vestergaard siutation is a bit sad really. He has been a good servant for the club, based on the type of manager being in charge. He still has a year left on his contract, and his situation is still unsolwed. He has not reported back for pre-season training.
Leicester will face Northampton tomorrow in their pre-season opener. No arrivals just yet, two transfers out, Henry Cartwright and Bilal El Khannouss. A third move looks close, Jeremy Monga.
Ben Nelson is reportedly leaving, but Torino’s attempts to sign him have been rejected. Nelson is said to have turned down a new contract offer.
Jamie Vardy is back training at Seagrave. This is to keep his fitness and preparing for next season, not knowing where that will be. Strange though to see him training with Leicester staff, as they should have plenty to do and not worry too much about Jamie Vardy, no longer part of the Leicester set up, or is it something in the air?
After two weeks with training, not any talk that gives any clues regarding the key questions. Who is going, who is coming in, and what will this season look like.
According to players and what we have heard from a video on one of the first training sessions, he has demanded running, hard work and doing everything that is expected.
