Cooper will have no transfer regrets for Leicester
- Published
"Is it….!? We'll definitely get you a cup of tea," smiled Steve Cooper in the opening line of his news conference.
He had just been asked by a reporter, likely to be stationed at Leicester's Seagrave training ground on Friday, about deadline day.
It has not been the easiest of windows for the Foxes but Cooper was insistent on Thursday, before Saturday's visit of Aston Villa, there will be no regrets come the end of it on Friday night.
The signing of Genk attacking midfielder Bilal El Khannouss for about £21m is getting closer and the Foxes should avoid any late worries with the 20 year old.
In an ideal world, Cooper would have perhaps added another striker. Jamie Vardy cannot go on forever, despite his scoring start against Tottenham, and goals remain the biggest concern.
Abdul Fatawu, Caleb Okoli, Jordan Ayew, Oliver Skipp, Michael Golding, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Facundo Buonanotte are all through the door and Leicester's midfield with Skipp and Harry Winks looks promising.
Once the window closes at 23:00 BST on Friday, he has four months until the January one and must be able to gel the team into one which he said represents him and one which the fans believe in.
