Jordan James could be set for a new club as active negotiations between Leicester and Rennes are ongoing over a potential transfer. The midfielder is seen as the perfect addition to the squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. While Parma and Wrexham have shown interest, Leicester currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. Leicester look balanced this season - 1.25 goals scored and 0.88 goals conceded per game. Jordan James would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Alongside this, Rennes are said to be exploring Esteban Lepaul, Conrad Harder and Brian Brobbey with Leicester likewise connected to Jesuran Rak-Sakyi, Mihailo Ivanovic and Calvin Stengs.
