Caleb Okoli: Shining the Spotlight on Leicester's Italian Defender

It has been four months since Leicester City won the EFL Championship title -- it may as well be four years. From the squad that achieved an immediate return to England's top-flight, manager Enzo Maresca has parted ways for Chelsea and taken the club's prized midfield asset Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall with him to Stamford Bridge in a €35.4 million deal, whilst other veteran leaders like Kelechi Iheanacho, Marc Albrighton and Dennis Praet have left the club following the expiry of their contracts as part of Leicester's mission to reduce stress upon their wage bill.

Plenty of new faces have made the move to the King Power Stadium; Facundo Buonanotte (19) has joined on loan from Brighton, whilst Oliver Skipp (23) has arrived from Tottenham in a €23.5m deal. The Foxes have reinforced their veteran core with the signing of 31-year-old winger Bobby De Cordova-Reid on a free transfer from Fulham, whilst they've also acquired Michael Golding (18) from Chelsea's academy.

Bilal El Khannouss (20) has left Belgian side Genk and joined Leicester City for €20.5 million, whilst Steve Cooper's side have also completed a double swoop by signing two attackers from Crystal Palace -- Jordan Ayew (32) for €5.9 million and Odsonne Edouard (26) on loan. Moreover, Leicester's automatic promotion triggered their permanent signing of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku for €17 million.
