"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."
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.
