Leicester City manager Russell Martin believes the club are close to strengthening his squad, revealing he is confident new signings will arrive next week as preparations for the Championship season continue.
The Foxes have been active behind the scenes during the summer transfer window, with work continuing to add fresh faces before the campaign gets under way.
Martin has made no secret of his desire to improve several areas of his squad, and his latest comments suggest progress is being made.
Leicester have already spent the opening weeks of pre-season assessing the players currently available, while the recruitment team continues to pursue a number of targets.
The club are keen to complete business as soon as possible to give any arrivals the best opportunity to settle into Martin’s style of play.
Supporters have been eager for further additions following a busy summer of departures and uncertainty, and the manager’s latest update is likely to provide encouragement ahead of another important week.
Speaking about Leicester’s transfer plans, Martin said: “I’m confident about new signings next week.”

Although he did not reveal the identities of the players involved, the statement suggests negotiations are moving in the right direction.
With pre-season fixtures continuing and the opening league match drawing closer, Leicester will hope to finalise deals quickly.
Martin wants his squad as close to completion as possible, giving his new arrivals valuable time to adapt before the Championship campaign begins.
