Leicester City have found life becoming difficult by the day since their triumphant campaign in the Premier League in 2015/16 season. Their performances have deteriorated over time, as they lost their crown in the last season to Chelsea and finally finished on the 12th position to end a disappointing season.
However, the Foxes are looking to bounce back this term and are willing to make a statement with their performance in the Premier League once again. However, their efforts have ceased to take effect so far, as they have faced defeats in two of their first three matches in the campaign. The former Premier League champions are now looking to strengthen their side by bringing in some experienced players to the side when the transfer window reopens in January.
The defence has been an area of a headache for the Foxes in the last term as well as this season so far, as they have failed to contain their rivals from getting the better of their defenders and score against them, demeaning their hard earned goals. Thier gaffer Craig Shakespeare has eyed a number of defenders who can help to stabilise his defence for the new season, with the name of the French full back Bacary Sagna right in the top of the list for them.
The veteran right back, who has starred for some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League including the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal, is currently a free agent after he left his former club Manchester City at the end of the last term. The Citizens let go of a number of players from their lineup this summer and brought in some new players to replace them for the new season.
The 34-year-old has featured in a number of matches for the Citizens, which amounts to 86 appearances for the two time Premier League champions. He also made 285 appearances for another major club in the Premier League, Arsenal and has been recognised as one of the best players to have played for the Gunners in the right back position.
The Foxes are well aware of the fact that they have to up their ante in the following days and will need a formidable unit at their disposal to take on the big name club in the Premier League. A player like Sagna can be a major boost for their backline and can help them defend their goal against opposition attacks. With the French full back, the Leicester City lineup can look like this-
Schmeichel, Sagna, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs, Mahrez, James, Ndidi, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy
