Leicester City transfer claim made on Inter Milan player
Stefano Sensi could still move to the King Power Stadium despite failing to secure a January switch.
Leicester City is still Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi’s most likely destination at this point, according to a report from Calcio Mercato.
The Foxes weren’t very busy during the January transfer window – and that isn’t a surprise considering the Foxes brought in several excellent additions during the summer transfer window.
These additions helped the club to climb to the top of the Championship table – and even though Leeds United have reduced the gap between themselves and the Midlands club to nine points – the Foxes still have a healthy gap between themselves and all of their promotion rivals.
| Championship Table (As it stands February 21st) | ||||
| Team | P | GD | Pts | |
| 1 | Leicester City | 33 | 43 | 78 |
| 2 | Leeds United | 33 | 35 | 69 |
| 3 | Ipswich Town | 33 | 21 | 69 |
| 4 | Southampton | 33 | 24 | 67 |
| 5 | West Brom | 33 | 17 | 55 |
| 6 | Hull City | 33 | 7 | 54 |
| 7 | Coventry City | 33 | 14 | 51 |
| 8 | Norwich City | 33 | 8 | 51 |
Going into the January window though, there were a couple of positions that the league leaders may have wanted to strengthen, including their left-back department.
Cesare Casadei was also recalled from his loan spell by Chelsea, something that may have come as a slight surprise to some considering he was due to spend the entire season at the King Power Stadium.
However, the Italian was criticised for some of his performances and with this in mind, he was always going to be replaceable.
Sensi looked set to be a replacement in the middle of the park, with the Italian being heavily linked with a switch to Leicester throughout the January window.
Fabrizio Romano even reported that a deal was on the verge of being completed, but a move didn’t materialise in the end and the midfielder looks set to spend the remainder of the campaign at the San Siro.
