Leicester want to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain thanks to van Nistelrooy pal | OneFootball

Leicester City may not have enough funds to spend on actually purchasing further players, but there are other routes to strengthening a squad. The Foxes are said to be in the market for some loan signings. And over the years we've seen a few impressive and surprising temporary additions in the Premier League.

Whether the King Power club will be able to complete the most recent proposed deal is anyone's guess right now. However, the east Midlands outfit may have an ace up their sleeve thanks to the latest City manager. Ruud van Nistelrooy has himself confirmed that LCFC seek and require further transfers this month.

When RvN took over on Filbert Way, one of the potentially positive aspects of his tenure was the attraction for athletes to come to Leicestershire. His sway if you will. Another possibly constructive factor would be the one-time Manchester United footballer's contacts in the game. With Leicester reportedly wanting to sign ex-Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, could Ruud van Nistelrooy's associate help the cause?

Will Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sign for Leicester City as Manchester United legend works with another former Red Devils star?

According to unnamed apparent sources, Ruud van Nistelrooy is said to be working with a separate Manchester United legend in order to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at Leicester City. To many, this would have been a slightly shocking headline to read on this Tuesday afternoon.

Yet Foxes of Leicester always wonder why LCFC don't push for more well-known veterans. If they don't help as much as other Foxes on the pitch, shirt and merchandise sales can even be worth considering.

Enter Oxlade-Chamberlain. The ex-England international was highly rated in his prime whilst competing in the English top flight. In fact, 'Ox' is still only 31 years old and playing for Besiktas.
