Leicester occupy 13th place in the Championship after 22 matches following relegation from the Premier League last season. Recruitment has been a struggle and January transfer options could correct squad weaknesses. The club has been linked with Sunderland striker Eliezer Mayenda as a new forward target. The 20-year-old struggled for playing time in the Premier League but excelled in last season's Championship promotion campaign for Sunderland. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris does not view Mayenda as a notable option, making a loan move plausible. Mayenda has attracted interest from several Bundesliga clubs. A productive January window could determine Leicester's promotion prospects.
"A new forward is on the agenda, and according to Football League World (via Foxes of Leicester), a move could be be made for Sunderland striker Eliezer Mayenda. The 20-year-old has struggled for playing time in the Premier League, so a return to the Championship, where he excelled in last season's promotion campaign for the Wearside club, would make a lot of sense."
"It's clear that Leicester need to make changes over the coming weeks, whether that is tactical or with personnel. A good January transfer window could be the difference between promotion and staying in the Championship for another season, so signings like Mayenda, who has also attracted interest from a number of Bundesliga clubs in recent weeks, should absolutely be something that the club's sporting departments seeks to finalise."
