Leicester City fans will be hoping for some new signings this month to aid their fight for survival, but Juventus may have just dealt them a blow in the pursuit of two targets.
With 22 games gone, Leicester City are currently sitting in 19th place in the Premier League table with 14 points, after falling to defeat against Fulham over the weekend.
Leicester fans voiced their complaints towards Ruud van Nistelrooy during and after that game, although a clear majority back the Foxes boss to lead them to safety by the end of the season.
If that is to happen, though, the Dutchman surely needs to improve his squad, but he may end up being frustrated by other clubs swooping in and taking the players on his radar.
Juventus have added Lilian Brassier and Thomas Kristensen to their shopping list
Van Nistelrooy’s transfer plans this month simply have to involve reinforcing the leaky Leicester City defence, but Juventus look likely to disrupt those plans.
According to TuttoSport on Twitter/X, the Italian giants have now added both Lilian Brassier and Thomas Kristensen to their list of targets for the January window. Both players had been mooted with a possible move to Leicester recently.
Il Bianconero added that Juventus are looking to cover for the ACL injury to star defender Gleison Bremer, but have recently missed out on reported targets such as Ronald Araujo, Fikayo Tomori, and David Hancko.
