Russell Martin has wasted little time stamping his authority on Leicester City, with Harry Winks emerging as one of the first high-profile casualties of the club’s rebuild.
The newly-appointed Foxes boss has arrived at the King Power with a clear vision following Leicester’s disastrous campaign, and reports surrounding the midfielder suggest his future lies away from the club.

Martin is expected to reshape the squad significantly as he attempts to guide Leicester back up the football pyramid after successive relegations.
Winks, once a key figure during Leicester’s Championship-winning season, endured a difficult 2025/26 campaign as the club slipped into League One.
The former England international has also been linked with a summer departure amid Leicester’s need to reduce a bloated wage bill and overhaul an underperforming squad.
Sources close to the club indicate Martin wants players fully committed to his long-term project and is prepared to move on senior figures who do not fit his plans.
The midfielder’s name has repeatedly surfaced in discussions regarding potential exits as Leicester prepare for a major reset.
For Winks, the message appears clear. Leicester are entering a new era under Martin, and the 30-year-old may now need to find a fresh challenge elsewhere as the Foxes begin their rebuild.
