The performances and results aren\u2019t anything to shout about whilst they\u2019re experiencing issues in the transfer market. Kasper Schmeichel departed on a free, joining OGC Nice in France, plus <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/29\/wesley-fofana-chelsea-medical-leicester-city\/\" target=\"_self\">Fofana\u2019s potential sale<\/a> could generate some much-needed spending money.<\/p>\n<p>There is one new arrival at the King Power in the form of Alex Smithies. The Cardiff City goalkeeper has joined on a free transfer to play second fiddle to Danny Ward. Neither of these men are adequate replacements for Schmeichel, the outgoing Dane.<\/p>\n<p>It was previously said that sales would be needed if Rodgers was to dip into the market. Alongside the aforementioned free transfer, Schalke winger Amine Harit joining on loan would surely work financially, regardless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/11\/leicester-city-midfielder-hamza-choudhury-watford\/\" target=\"_self\">Leicester City Midfielder Joins Championship Club on Loan<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Leicester City are close to signing FC Schalke midfielder Amine Harit.<\/p>\n<p>The right-footed Moroccan can play on either wing or as a 10.
