Leicester City has kicked off their pre-season training at Seagrave, welcoming new signing Michael Golding and young talents Logan Briggs and Silko Thomas to the first team. With six weeks of preparation ahead, Steve Cooper now has the chance to closely assess his squad as he plans for the club’s Premier League survival. This period is crucial for players to showcase their abilities and secure their spots in the starting line-up. The initial focus is on rebuilding fitness after a two-month break, while fans keenly observe photos and videos from Seagrave for any hints about the team’s development.

Currently, Leicester City’s wide options include Stephy Mavididi, Abdul Fatawu, and new signing Bobby De Cordova-Reid. Adding Matias Soule to the squad would provide crucial depth and competition for Mavididi and Fatawu, neither of whom have Premier League experience. Despite Frosinone’s relegation last season, Soule’s experience with a struggling team could be beneficial for Leicester. The 21-year-old managed an impressive season, showcasing his potential to make a significant impact in games with his flair and excitement, qualities that could change the course of a match.

New Leicester City manager Steve Cooper is focused on building a squad capable of maintaining their Premier League status. The summer began challenging for Leicester with the departures of manager Enzo Maresca and star player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea. However, the compensation received—£10 million for Maresca and £30 million for Dewsbury-Hall—has helped the club meet the 30th June PSR deadline.

Danny Rohl, the highly sought-after manager of Sheffield Wednesday, has emerged as a potential target for Hull City in their search for a replacement for Liam Rosenior. Rohl’s successful tenure at Sheffield Wednesday, guiding the team to safety in the Championship, has garnered interest from both Hull City and Sunderland. While Tim Walter remains the frontrunner for the managerial position at Hull City, Rohl and former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper are also in contention. Despite interest from Sunderland, Rohl’s commitment to Sheffield Wednesday and positive discussions with club owner Dejphon Chansiri suggest a move to the Stadium of Light is unlikely.
