Leicester City eye January move for Inter Milan left-back Robin Gosens

Leicester City are reportedly considering a move for Inter Milan left-back/wing-back Robin Gosens in January, reports FCInterNews.it.

The German left-back was a target for the Foxes when he was at Atalanta, however he moved to San Siro at the start of his year on an initial loan move, with Inter making his deal permanent this summer.

However, Gosens’ time with Nerazzurri could come to an end sooner, having fallen down the pecking order of Simone Inzaghi.

The 28-year-old hardly featured for Inter during the second half of the last season because of injuries, and despite being fit this term, he has struggled for playing time.

He has appeared in six Serie A games this season, out of which five have come from the bench.

Also, Inter thought of selling the German international to Bayer Leverkusen during the summer, identifying Borna Sosa of Stuttgart as a potential replacement. However, none of the moves materialised.

Leicester are looking to revive their interest in Gosens in the upcoming transfer window in a bid to reinforce their squad.

The Foxes had an almost barren transfer window in the summer – Wout Faes and Alex Smithies are the only incomings.

It affected their performances on the pitch, with Leicester recording their worst start to the season in their history – one draw and six defeats in seven games in the Premier League.

Sitting at the bottom of the table, Brendan Rodgers continues to face an uncertain future at King Power Stadium, but he is hoping for an upturn in results after the international break.

If that happens, the Scottish manager could be backed with new signings in the January transfer window, and Gosens is one of the names on the wishlist.

The German defender is highly versatile as he can play as a left-back, wing-back and midfielder.

Leicester will be welcoming Nottingham Forest after the international break, with the visitors sitting at the second bottom of the table with four points.
