Levein Closing In On Striker
Craig Levein says he is stepping up his search for a striker as the New Year approaches.
The Foxes boss has been openly vocal about his want to bring in a frontman to bolster his attacking options over previous weeks.
And with the transfer window reopening once again next month, Levein is already working hard behind the scenes to bring in a fresh face.
He said: "There is a little bit of money available for transfers and I will find out at the Board meeting next week just how much.
"There is only one reason why we are in the league position we are in - we just don't score enough goals.
"I am not just pointing the finger at strikers, but that is the area in which it is most crucial.
"We have a list of players who we believe will help us, although some of those names have been crossed off already following phone calls that we have made.
"We have now whittled that list down to two or three players who are possibles. That doesn't help us a lot for the Norwich or Crystal Palace games but it is important to know which way we are heading and where the money that we have available is going to be spent. I think the addition of a player, or maybe two players, would help us tremendously.
"We have players from the Premiership, Championship, lower divisions and abroad all on the list. The most important thing is that we get somebody in who has a record of scoring goals at first team level and will add goals to the squad."
we have all moaned and groaned about city but for ffs cl doing it now ,no wonder the lads have there heads down
