Claude Puel Confirms Several First Team Players Are in Talks to Sign New Contracts at Leicester

Leicester City manager Claude Puel has confirmed that a number of players who will become free agents in 2019 are currently in talks with the club's director of football, Jon Rudkin.

Defenders Wes Morgan, Christian Fuchs, Danny Simpson and Yohan Benalouane are among the first team players who could walk away from the King Power Stadium for free in the summer, as well as striker Shinji Okazaki.

Puel claimed that it wasn't the time to go into detail about players' contracts, although it is known that talks with Rudkin will cover the possibility of cashing in during the January transfer window.
