How Leicester City are still chasing a specialist No 9 to kickstart promotion bid... after failing to land Danny Ings and Jamie Vardy return off the cards

Leicester City manager Russell Martin is actively seeking a specialist number 9 striker to bolster the club's promotion bid, having failed to sign Danny Ings. A return for former striker Jamie Vardy has also been ruled out. Martin's side drew 3-3 against La Liga club Malaga in a pre-season friendly in Marbella on Saturday, a result that highlighted the attacking shortcomings he is looking to address.
