How much Arsenal have offered for Leicester City star Bilal El Khannouss has been revealed

Leicester City have been relegated to the Championship and look set to lose some key figures in the summer transfer window.

Leicester City were relegated last month after losing to Liverpool, spending just one season back in the Premier League following their Championship triumph in 2023/24.

Their demotion is expected to signal the departure of several players, with Jamie Vardy’s Leicester exit already confirmed once his contract expires.

Elsewhere, Wilfred Ndidi could be sold for a cut-price fee due to a relegation clause in the Nigerian’s contract.

There has now been an update on midfielder Bilal El Khannouss and transfer interest surrounding him.
