According to a number of different outlets, we are happy to hear about, the two new expected arrivals at Leicester. One of them is the tall striker, Elijah Adebayo (28). He is said to have been seen at Seagrave. Earlier reported that he had been offered a deal from Leicester and is now expected to have accepted a contract. Adebayo was largely on the sidelines last season, being injured, but hopes are he will pass his medical. Adebayo is a free agent and previously played for Luton Town.
Leicester also believed to have reached an agreement to sign Cristian McFarlane on a season-long loan from Manchester City. The 19 year old defender who operates mainly on left back will be a good inclusion, potentially a cover for Luke Thomas.
Both additions are in line with the type of plan we believe should be in place to rebuild this squad, still very unbalanced, but it looks more and more in shape. We do expect at least two or three more additions, to have the solidity needed to get back up and get promoted.
To see Leicester going for players with a past at a higher level, and also have an eye on special young talent, is a route we believe is the one correct.
Leicester City are in advanced talks with Swansea City over a permanent move for Liam Cullen, as per @tomEcoleman.

Late Thursday evening Wales Online reports on a potential Leicester move for Swansea forward Liam Cullen. Cullen is a versitale forward who prefers to play as an attacking midfielder (number 10), but also used as a central forward (number 9).
Leicester are also said to have placed an offer to Leyton Orient for top goalscorer Dom Ballard. A fee in the region of £4million will be the price to pay. Ballard also have interest from EFL Championship clubs, so it will be interesting to see if that move goes through.
Leicester players are also in demand, and at this point who will be left at the club when the season starts is still a riddle, depending on offers and if everything comes in the correct form for all parties. Oliver Skipp, Caleb Okoli, Harry Souttar and Wout Faes, are four central figures in demand. Ben Nelson has rejected a new contract offer from the club and could be on his way out as well. Hamza Choudhury has said he is staying, but the contract he is on, and if not being played regularly a move to EFL Championship could be happening. Sheffield United and Birmingham are two clubs being linked with the Bangladesh international.
The fact that Leicester haven’t used any money on new signings is easy to understand, being carefull to splash out any cash on new faces, before you have the answer on who will be leaving. Impatient fans asking for funds to be used, do not understand how this works, as it could again bring the squad out of balance.
Leicester can use money from player departures to sign new recruits, but they will need to move on at least three or four more players first to avoid having too many options in one position and lacking in others. Leicester must for all cost avoid having high earners sitting in the stands.
