Leicester City manager Claude Puel is reportedly preparing to sell three players in January.

Leicester City manager Claude Puel is reportedly ready to sanction the sales of Ahmed Musa, Leonardo Ulloa and Yohan Benalouane in January, according to The Mirror.

Neither strikers Musa or Ulloa, who The Mirror reports cost £16m and £10m respectively, or defender Benalouane have played a single Premier League minute this season.

Puel replaced Craig Shakespeare in October and will be keen to reinvest any funds recouped when the transfer window reopens, but where might he be looking to improve Leicester?

The Foxes have plenty of options up front and also have pace and quality delivery from wide areas, which is why scoring goals has not been a problem for them this campaign.

Vicente Iborra and Wilfred Ndidi are starting to establish a good midfield partnership, and the Foxes have already added shrewdly at the back with the signing of Harry Maguire.

A new partner for Maguire is something that Puel might be considering, with Premier League-winning captain Wes Morgan an ever-present this term, but approaching his 34th birthday.

Christian Fuchs and Ben Chilwell offer depth and competition at left-back, but an upgrade on Danny Simpson on the opposite side of the defence is where Puel may want to prioritise the cash.
