TOP 5 players Leicester City can sign this summer

As known, all footballing events, incuding Premier League matches, have been suspended due to coronavirus pandemic, and many clubs can use this time to look for potential transfers targets this summer. Leicester City are hoping to secure Champions League spot for the next season, which will be an advantage when trying to convince players to move to the King Power Stadium. Although it is not clear yet when the transfer window is opened, as the league still hasn't been completed, the Foxes have many players they have been linked with and here is the list of players that might make a move to Leicester. Habib Diallo Getty Images The Foxes are set to bolster their striking line in the next transfer window and Metz forward Habib Diallo can be a good option. The 24-year-old has been in an impressive form for the French club over the past few seasons, and has scored 38 goals over the past two seasons in Ligue 2 and Ligue 1. Diallo is making the most of his starting time at the club - time which has now firmly put the forward on the map. According to Le Foot, numerous clubs, including Chelsea, Leicester, Leeds United and Crystal Palace, are all interested in getting the forward's signature. Diallo's current value is €15 million and the Brendan Rodger's side might really take a chance and sign him this summer. Timothy Castagne Getty Images Leicester have been linked with a move for Atalanta right-back Timothy Castagne. Belgian outlet Sport/Foot claim the Foxes have been interested in signing the 24-year-old as they put in place contingency plans. Brendan Rodger's side are not intended to lose right-back Ricardo Pereira this summer, but as the Portuguese is one of the most consistent players in his position across the continent, interest from a number of clubs is likely. So with that in mind, the club are targeting Castagne as a backup plan in case Ricardo departs, who is under contract until 2023. Ben White Getty Images Leicester are reportedly plotting a summer swoop for Brighton & Hove Albion defender Ben White. According to Football Insider, the Foxes are keen on signing the 22-year-old centre-back at the end of this season. White, who is currently on loan at Leeds United in the Championship, has been ever-present in the league so far this term and is also believed to have caught the attention of Liverpool and Manchester United. Charlie Taylor Getty Images Taylor can be a replacement for Ben Chilwell, who is one of a few stars that could end up leaving the club sooner. Burnley left-back has been scouted by Leicester on a regular basis and the Brendan Rodger's side are ready to make a move at the end of current campaign. According to The Times, Taylor will become Leicester's main target in the summer if Chilwell moves on. Although Taylor is older than Chilwell, he would come in as a ready-made replacement after impressing for Sean Dyche's side this season, and will be on a list of left-backs compiled by the Foxes recruitment team. Adam Lallana Getty Images Lallana has been heavily linked with a move to the King Power Stadium, as he is set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer this summer with his contract expiring at the end of this season. According to The Telegraph, the Foxes are 'a realistic option' due to the player's relationship with Brendan Rodgers and the potential lure of Champions League football. Leicester boss signed Lallana from Southampton during his time in charge of Liverpool for £25m, and he could use the relationship he already has with the 31-year-old to make him move to the King Power Stadium this summer. However, besides the Foxes, Tottenham and West Ham are all claimed to be interested in a summer move for Lallana, who appears to be a steal on a free, despite his injury troubles in recent seasons.
