Leicester City have expressed interest in acquiring Chancel Mbemba to bolster their defensive lineup. The 30-year-old defender from Marseille is being considered by the club, which is eager to finalize a deal. Reports suggest that Mbemba has fallen in the team hierarchy at Marseille and is seeking regular playing time, something Leicester could potentially offer. This transfer would present Mbemba with an opportunity to return to the Premier League, having previously played for Newcastle United between 2015 and 2018. Leicester are confident in their financial ability to complete the transfer, viewing the acquisition of Mbemba as a strategic move.

Chancel Mbemba, currently sidelined at Olympique de Marseille, has attracted interest from Leicester. The English club, struggling defensively with 40 goals conceded in 18 Premier League matches, aims to strengthen its defense this winter, making Mbemba a priority. Africafoot reports that the former FC Porto player is available for 3 million euros. However, Leicester must reach a financial agreement with Mbemba, who is very attached to his current salary at Marseille.
