Leicester City are in talks over three attacking options as the Championship club plots a summer rebuild. Nestory Irankunda, Mason Burstow and Jayden Wareham are all in frame, according to transfer chatter.

Which players are Leicester City chasing?

Leicester City are reportedly monitoring three forwards as they look to bolster their attacking options. Nestory Irankunda, the Adelaide United striker, is the headline name after his impressive season in the A-League. Mason Burstow, the young Chelsea loanee, has also drawn interest, while Jayden Wareham, a winger from non-league side Tonbridge Angels, is another option under discussion.

Why are these signings on Leicester’s radar?

The Foxes finished 23rd in the Championship last season with just 46 points from 46 games, scoring 58 goals while conceding 68, leaving them 49 points behind Coventry in the title race. Their attack struggled for consistency, and new boss Dean Smith is expected to reshape the squad. Irankunda’s pace and Burstow’s link-up play could add fresh options up front, while Wareham’s direct style fits a wing role.

What happens next in Leicester’s transfer window?

Talks are at an early stage, and no bids have been made public. Leicester’s hierarchy will weigh up the cost and contract length of each player before deciding who, if anyone, to pursue. The club’s recent form - a run of WDDLL in their final 2025 fixtures - shows why they need attacking upgrades to climb the table.

League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 23rd in Championship, 46 pts, 12W-16D-18L from 46 games, recent form WDDLL. Goals this season: 58 scored, 68 conceded (-10 goal difference). Title race: 49 points behind leaders Coventry.
