Behind a pay wall.

Kasper Schmeichel is a taxi driver (for his children) after finding retirement from playing boring.

 

I was playing golf with a guy on the.board at Krispy Kreme donuts and apparently he has brought the franchise rights for Krispy Kreme in Denmark.

Makes sense since he always turned up to preseason like he'd spent the previous two months eating there for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Is this true or does this story have lots of holes in it?

Honestly true! I was playing at Quail Hollow in NC and he told me an ex-Leicester player had bought the Danish franchise when I said I supported Leicester.

Ok, no need to sugar-coat it.

Winks, Fatawu, Daka - How the 21 players who left Leicester City are doing | Leicestershire Live

 

Josh Holland Leicester City correspondent
 01 Oct 2026
Leicester City brought in 14 players over the summer transfer window as part of their major overhaul of Russell Martin's playing squad. Dai Cornell's arrival after the window closed took that number to 15.

After relegation from the Championship, a reshuffle was a must and as City welcomed new faces to the King Power Stadium, some left the club. Players with over 400 appearances between them last season departed and while some have moved to new clubs, others remain without a new home.

So how are those that left this summer getting on at their new clubs so far? From those who Leicester sold, to those whose contracts of loans ended, here are the Foxes' summer exits and their starts to the season...

 

Abdul Fatawu - Ipswich
Fatawu has done fairly well in the Premier League since moving to Ipswich. He registered an assist in their 5-2 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford before helping them beat Crystal Palace.

The winger has started all five of their league games, but he won't feature in their next game after receiving a red card at Everton last time out. The 22-year-old was shown a second yellow card for diving by Stuart Attwell.

He is currently ahead of Jaden Philogene-Bidace in Gary O'Neil's team.

 

Harry Winks - Cagliari
A return to Italy was confirmed for Winks in July and it's been a fairly decent start. Cagliari sit fourth in Serie A after winning four of their first five games, including a 2-1 win at Atalanta.

Winks has started every game for Fabio Pisacane's side in a 4-3-1-2 formation, with the former City man unsurprisingly deployed at the base of their midfield, completing 91.3 per cent of his passes.

 

Jeremy Monga - Man City
The 17-year-old was always going to be snapped up by one of England's best teams and Manchester City beat Arsenal to sign him. Monga spent time with Enzo Maresca's squad during pre-season before sealing a loan move to Swansea City in the Championship.

He is yet to make his first appearance for the Swans, though, with Vitor Matos yet to utilise the wonderkid. It'll be interesting to see how much football Monga will get in Wales.


Patson Daka - Hamburg
Daka left Leicester and secured a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg in July. During pre-season, he was bagging goals for fun and looked set to produce some incredible numbers, but the start to the domestic campaign has been far from ideal.

Hamburg lost their opening three games against Dortmund, Mainz and RB Leipzig, conceding 12 goals and scoring none, with Daka starting two of those matches. He dropped to the bench for the 2-1 win over FC Koln, with former Nice striker Terem Moffi seemingly ahead of him.

 

Hamza Choudhury - Sheffield United
After appearing set to play a key role for Leicester, Choudhury secured a surprise return to Bramall Lane. He's played every game since his move, returning to right-back under Chris Wilder, but the Blades have endured a mixed start to the season.

Wilder described Choudhury as a "winner" after his debut against Bolton Wanderers. The City academy graduate has looked happier in social media footage.

 

Jordan Ayew - Sheffield United
Joining Choudhury at Bramall Lane was Ayew. The forward, who scored just six goals last term, was without a club throughout August before bolstering Sheffield United's attacking options.
In his three games for the Blades, Ayew has played 98 minutes and lost all three. His performance in the EFL Cup defeat to Fleetwood Town was met with criticism by supporters.


Victor Kristiansen - Panathinaikos
A very strange case. Kristiansen secured a loan move to Greek side Panathinaikos, which included an option to purchase that would become an obligation if he played 50 per cent of their league games.

However, since reuniting with Jacob Neestrup, who he worked with at Copenhagen, Kristiansen is yet to make a single appearance this season. The left-back suffered a number of injuries last season, but Leicester will be hoping to see him feature soon.

 

Fran Vieites - Marítimo
Vieites didn't play a single minute for Leicester last season but did appear to be considered by Martin in pre-season. After Alex McCarthy's arrival, Vieites moved to Liga Portugal side Maritimo.

After sitting on the bench for five straight games, the Spaniard made his debut before the international break following a run of three-straight defeats. They drew 1-1 at Gil Vicente and Vieites could be used as their first-choice going forward.

 

Silko Thomas - Wycombe
Thomas' contract expired in June and he was part of the first week of pre-season training under Martin. However, he left City and was quickly snapped up by League One rivals Wycombe Wanderers.

The former Chelsea star started the season for the Chairboys before losing his spot in the starting XI. He came off the bench and got an assist against MK Dons, but Michael Duff's sacking has seen a change in system, leaving Thomas on the bench.


Wanya Marcal - Stevenage
Another player who left Leicester on a free and will come up against the Foxes this season is Marcal. After trials with Sheffield Wednesday, Peterborough and Cambridge, the Portuguese was snapped up by Stevenage.

He made his debut in the Jersey Mike's Trophy against Walsall, recording a goal and an assist. Marcal could feature against City next Tuesday in the competition.

 

Chris Popov - Hartlepool
Signed by City after being released by Manchester United, Popov is playing in the National League with Hartlepool United. However, like many of the players on this list, his start to the season has been far from ideal.

They have won just three of their opening 11 games, losing their previous five. Popov scored the winner against Woking at the start of September and has been used out wide too.


Henry Cartwright - Bradford City
At Bradford, Cartwright's side sit top of League One after seven games. The midfielder hasn't started a league game yet and has come off the bench three times, but he started their EFL Cup wins over Premier League side Burnley and Leyton Orient.

The Bantams lost their manager Graham Alexander this week and that could see their form collapse. They are also one game away from reaching the EFL Cup quarter-final, hosting Peterborough United in the fourth round later this month.

 

Amani Richards - Barnsley
Similar to Cartwright, Richards' move to Barnsley left many Leicester fans questioning the decision. The attacker left City after failing to break into the first team at the King Power Stadium and has started well at Oakwell.

Richards has scored two and assisted one in 10 appearances, playing on the left and right of their attack. He started against City last month but was taken off after 34 minutes following Luca Connell's red card.

 

Tom Wilson-Brown - Stockport County
Wilson-Brown returned from his loan spell at Swindon Town with some expectation that he could feature for City, but he was allowed to leave for Stockport on a permanent basis in August.

However, he has played just one time, in the Jersey Mike's Trophy, for them and is yet to make a single appearance in League One.

 

Nathan Opoku - Northampton
The striker moved to the Cobblers permanently towards the end of the transfer window and has become a starter for Chris Hogg. Opoku scored his first goal for the club against Crawley in September and will be looking to get more goals.
A consortium led by former AC Milan, Chelsea and Brazil forward Alexandre Pato recently took over Northampton.

 

Jordan James - Wolves
James' loan move came to an end with no permanent deal after relegation to League One and the Wales international went on to join Wolves.

He's yet to break into the starting XI and has come off the bench in each of the previous six games. Calls have already been made for him to start, but he'll be hoping to enjoy his football at Molineux.


Free agents
City fan favourite Ricardo Pereira remains without a club after leaving Leicester. Ricardo has posted a number of social media clips of himself training in City gear and appears to be keen on staying in football.

In the summer, reports in Brazil claimed Gremio and Corinthians were keen, but no move is forthcoming.

Also without a club is Asmir Begovic. The goalkeeper has been doing some media work since his exit, appearing on Sky Sports News.

Jannik Vestergaard is also clubless, too, having departed by mutual agreement in July. Fellow defender Jamaal Lascelles too is unattached and recently opened up about being a free agent.

"It is a position I have never been in before," he said.

"A lot of uncertainty but I have been ticking over on my fitness, following a programme.

"Hoping for the right team to come along and join, get back to playing football, so hopefully it can change soon. I need to be playing football."

From the popbitch newsletter;

 

>> Collateral City Damage <<
Young star boards Titanic

Amid the hysterical speculation over which teams Manchester City’s stars will be switching to when the next transfer window opens, spare a thought for young Jeremy Monga.

On appearing for Leicester City at age 15 in April 2025, Jeremy became the third-youngest player ever in the Premier League.

A glorious future beckoned, until Leicester threatened to ruin it with their fast descent through the divisions. Jez dodged this humiliation by signing for Manchester City, as the club best placed to develop his prodigious talent.

So just imagine how the future must look Chez Monga as it dawns that he has apprenticed himself to a club that may soon be playing their football in a division even lower than his old employer’s modest League One standing.
