'He's shown' - Leicester City transfer swoop hailed by Preston North End manager By George Hodgson Published 29th Aug 2025, 06:00 BST The goalkeeper rejoined Preston North End this summer Preston North End goalkeeper Daniel Iversen has so far justified the hype to manager Paul Heckingbottom. The Danish shot-stopper is a fan favourite at Deepdale, having had two previous loan spells with the club. Iversen won Player of the Year for the 2021/22 campaign and made several memorable saves. He spent the three years after with Leicester City but struggled for game time in a Foxes shirt. Iversen only managed to get out on loan once - for the second half of the 2023/24 season with Stoke City. This summer, he made clear that he wanted to get out on loan more often. As for Heckingbottom, he was aware of Iversen’s popularity with the PNE faithful and therefore excited to start working with him for the first time. “Yes, I think most people here, obviously fans, you guys, everyone knows him and knew what to expect,” said Heckingbottom. “I think it was new for Dan working with me and me working with Dan. But yes, I think his personality shines so much as a goalkeeper. His personality around the place is great as well. “But I certainly think he's really comfortable. He knows the place, he knows the people. He was really, really excited to come back and champing at the bit. From day one, he's shown what he's all about. “Back to the recruitment, really pleased with some of the work we've done. I feel like we've got the best free transfer out there. We've done really well to get him. He’s certainly comfortable, likes it here and hopefully that brings the best out of him.” On the opening day at Queens Park Rangers, Iversen made a fine start to the campaign. He provided the assist for Milutin Osmajic and after PNE’s equaliser, produced a remarkable save to keep out Karamoko Dembele. The following league game, Iversen somehow denied Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu from point blank range. “Yes, big saves,” said Heckingbottom. “It is important. Listen, we're always working on things. We just had a meeting there and Dan gets his role within the XI without the ball but particularly, with the ball as well when we do have the ball. “But ultimately, for me, the saves. It's like goal scorers. If you're taking a chance and you're clinical at one end, you can win your team points. If you're the goalkeeper at the other end and you're making big saves at big moments, then it's absolutely critical.”

Premier League has charged LCFC with an alleged breach of PSR
davieG replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
https://eflanalysis.com/news/the-truth-about-leicester-citys-talks-with-the-efl-over-61m-issue-as-transfer-embargo-mooted/ The truth about Leicester City’s talks with the EFL over £61m issue as transfer embargo mooted Callum Boyle Thu 28 August 2025 15:00, UK Leicester City’s summer has been dominated by their transfer activity, or lack of it. A number of high-profile players have departed the King Power Stadium but Marti Cifuentes has only been able to make one addition, the signing of 38-year-old free agent Asmir Begovic. King Power have been dealing with financial problems of their own and with only a few days of the window remaining, it seems as if more outgoings are likely than anyone coming in. The lack of activity has sparked some speculation among supporters about the possibility of the club being under embargo, or on an EFL-imposed business plan. And here, EFL Analysis can exclusively reveal what exactly is going on at Leicester City right now. Are Leicester City under a business plan? EFL Analysis’ Chief finance expert Adam Williams has been following the Foxes closely throughout the summer due to the ongoing problems with King Power and the lack of recruitment. Williams confirmed that Leicester are under no form of transfer embargo or business plan as it stands. However, the latter isn’t as straightforward and it’s thought that the Championship club may be in talks with the EFL ahead of submitting their financial accounts at an earlier period. Chart depicting Leicester City profit and loss statistics from 2018-19 to 2023-23, with EFL Analysis logo Leicester City profit and loss chart Credit: Adam Williams/EFL Analysis/GRV Media He said: “If the EFL had placed Leicester City under a formal embargo they would be obliged to disclose that. So we can say with certainty that isn’t the case. Where things get a little murkier is with the business plans that the EFL can either impose or work on with individual clubs on an informal basis. It’s an issue of semantics, really. “The EFL has worked with clubs in the past when they are forecasting a PSR breach, i.e., when a club hasn’t yet breached but is on track to do so at the end of the financial year. The EFL revised its rules in April so that clubs who were relegated from the Premier League any previous given season wouldn’t slip through the cracks here in terms of jurisdiction. “Under this new system, Leicester will be required to submit its audited financial accounts for the previous financial year in December, then the EFL can take pre-emptive action from March onwards. That can be in the form of a ‘business plan’ or demanding that clubs make sales once the June transfer window opens. “But the distinction we need to make is between this season’s PSR assessment and the referral by the Premier League to an independent commission for an alleged breach in 2023-24. The club can’t really control the outcome in that case, which is still ongoing. It’s down to the legal branch at this point. A points deduction could well be beckoning, but that’s for a previous PSR period, not this one, so there wouldn’t be a business plan imposed FOR THIS SEASON on that basis. “What Leicester do have control over is how they position themselves in the current three-year assessment window, which encompasses 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26.“ Why have Leicester City been so quiet in the transfer window? While it’s been quiet so far, there is still time to get some deals over the line. Joao Rego is one of those admired by the Foxes and any transfers may go down to the wire, despite the priority being to remain on the right side of the PSR calculations, according to Williams. “I suspect that the lack of incoming activity is more about resetting their PSR position as opposed to any formal business plan,” he added. “Will there have been a liaison process with the EFL? Yes, probably. But that’s standard, and I suspect that will be more about keeping the authorities on-side given the issues they have had with non-cooperation in the past. The club have also previously briefed that the PSR issue hanging over them has stifled them in the transfer market in terms of attracting players, so that could be a factor too. But the way I see it, Leicester have much more breathing space in this current assessment window. Infographic explaining PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) for the Premier League, EFL Championship, and UEFA competitions PSR infographic Credit: EFL Analysis/GRV Media “Leicester have only made one permanent signing this summer, and that is Asmir Begovic on a free. The wage bill will have come down pretty significantly with the players who have left the club, and they have generated somewhere around £45m in fees. The £90m that Leicester lost in 2022-23 has now dropped out of their three-year PSR calculation, which is a positive. The £19m they lost in 2023-24 will probably swing back to a positive result as far as PSR is concerned when allowable costs are factored in. “In 2025-26, their three-year loss limit is about £61m. So their compliance this season hinges on their financial result in 2024-25. Dewsbury-Hall was a ‘pure profit’ sale, which will help, but the signings they made will have increased amortisation by somewhere around £20m. They were running at an operating loss of about £80m the previous season and, even with Premier League TV money, that negative is going to remain.” -
OS We can confirm that LCFC Women have decided to part company with Manager Amandine Miquel and Assistant Manager Amaury Messuwe, who leave their roles with immediate effect. Amandine Miquel to leave role as LCFC Women manager She was appointed to the position in the summer of 2024 Assistant Amaury Messuwe also departs the Club Amandine was appointed in the summer of 2024, along with Amaury, and they helped guide the team to a 10th placed finish in the Barclays Women’s Super League last season. We would like to thank Amandine and Amaury for their hard work and professionalism during their time with the Club, and we wish them both the very best in their future endeavours. The squad continues its preparations under the wider coaching team ahead of the new WSL campaign, while we will provide a further update once the process of appointing a new LCFC Women Manager has been concluded.

https://eflanalysis.com/match-coverage/an-obvious-winner-between-leicester-city-and-birmingham-city-this-weekend-in-the-championship-according-to-the-stats/ The quality of possession and passing may play a key part in emerging as victors in this fixture, and Leicester can safely know that among the 103 players in the Championship this season to have attempted 100+ passes, no player holds a better pass accuracy rate than Leicester’s Harry Winks (96.3%), while teammate Boubakary Soumaré ranks second (93.4%).

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/exclusive-leicester-city-coventry-city-eyeing-up-late-william-boving-transfer-deal/ Exclusive: Leicester City & Coventry City eyeing up moves for £3m-rated Sturm Graz striker William Bøving Ben Wignall Leicester City and Coventry City are both plotting moves for Sturm Graz striker William Bøving before Monday’s transfer deadline, sources have exclusively told Football League World. The days and hours are ticking down until the summer window slams shut, and it’s likely that some EFL clubs will be vying for the same targets at this very late stage. And that is the case for two Midlands rivals, who are both looking into the possibility of adding the same centre-forward to their ranks ahead of 7pm on Monday. Leicester City and Coventry City eye William Bøving raid LW has been told that Leicester and Coventry are both eyeing up Danish striker William Bøving, who could be available for around the £3 million mark, but there are also unnamed Spanish clubs in the mix. The 22-year-old, who played 18 times for his country’s under-21’s side, moved to Sturm Graz of Austria in 2022 from Copenhagen, having played 44 matches for them in all competitions prior to his exit. Bøving has developed into a regular fixture in Sturm Graz's attack over the last three years, although it took him until the 2024-25 campaign to start finding the back of the net, having only scored three goals in 45 Austrian Bundesliga matches in his first two seasons. Last season though, Bøving bagged 11 times in 30 domestic outings, as well as notching a further eight assists to be one of Sturm Graz's leading lights in their title-winning campaign - their second in succession after also being triumphant in 2023-24. With less than one year remaining on his contract though, Bøving could be heading out of the exit door of the Merkur Arena before Monday's English transfer deadline - although Austria's is still open until September 5. Leicester City and Coventry City's current striker situations amid William Bøving chase Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes Out of the two clubs, it is Leicester who look to be more in desperate need of a new number nine. Foxes head coach Marti Cifuentes currently only has two strikers on his books in the form of Jordan Ayew and Patson Daka - neither of who have scored yet in the Championship so far this season, and fresh blood is being sought after to give City a boost in the final third. As for Coventry, goals are no problem to them right now, having fired in 12 of them in their previous two league matches against Derby County and QPR, but with Ellis Simms disappointing last season and Brandon Thomas-Asante currently occupying the right-wing position for Frank Lampard, Haji Wright is carrying a big burden as the lone front-man. Bøving could help to ease the workload on the USA international, but Coventry won't have it easy if they are battling Leicester for the Danishman's services.
