Premier League: Craig Shakespeare says Leicester City isn't a selling club amid growing interest for stars

London: Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare is confident of retaining all the players he wants to keep in his squad but is wary of approaches from rivals as the transfer window enters its final weeks. “Every manager’s nightmare is to lose players in the last 24 hours or on the day of the window (closing) and you can’t get replacements in,” Shakespeare told reporters of the 31 August transfer deadline day.

We don’t want to be a selling club. I think we’ve got owners who want to keep their best players… I think we have those assurances so I haven’t got to worry about that.” Goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler, who joined German side VfB Stuttgart last month, is the only player to depart, while several additions have been made to bolster the squad, including striker Kelechi Iheanacho and defender Harry Maguire. Shakespeare’s first match as permanent Leicester manager will see the 2015-16 Premier League champions travel to Arsenal on Friday.
