Russell Martin confirms Leicester City transfer plan of 'three or four' signings

Leicester Mercury · Josh Holland

Russell Martin has confirmed that Leicester City's transfer business isn't over yet, with the possibility of "three or four" players still arriving before the window shuts.

The Foxes have signed nine players so far this summer as part of a much-needed refresh of the playing squad. However, City have endured a slow start to the new season, failing to win against Notts County and Burton Albion.

Harry Souttar and Caleb Okoli have started at the heart of Martin's defence against County and Burton, but both have faced criticism for their displays. After the defeat to Burton, Martin revealed that the club still have business to do.

To get it, it's a simple one-two punch.

Martin revealed in his pre-match press conference on Friday that no move for a new defender was imminent. However, on Saturday, he hinted that one could be through the door by the time they travel to Ipswich Town on Tuesday night in the Carabao Cup.

"Possibly, yes, possibly," he said. "I think it's obviously always fluid."

The City boss added: "Nothing's changed. I think we have to strengthen in certain areas that we don't feel as strong as others. So nothing's really changed."
