Manager Claude Puel claims that Leicester City are not close to signing any more players during the January transfer window.

Manager Claude Puel has suggested that he is not close to making any further signings during the January transfer window.

Earlier this month, Puel completed a deal for Gazelec Ajaccio attacker Fousseni Diabate, while a number of players have been linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium.

Outgoings are likely before the end of the month, but Puel has indicated that he would still like to retain the majority of his first-team squad.

At a press conference, the 56-year-old said: "We are not close for the moment to sign a player. If we cannot find a player with good attributes who can give other strengths, it is important to keep this squad.

"If we can improve, we will sign. For the moment, it is not important."

Leicester are currently competing for seventh place in the Premier League table, while the club are also through to the FA Cup fourth round.
