Football: Leicester happy with transfer business despite losing Maguire,says Rodgers

REUTERS: Leicester City are pleased with their transfer business in the close season despite being unable to replace centre back Harry Maguire following his record-breaking departure, manager Brendan Rodgers said on Friday.

"Very pleased ," Rodgers told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers."We targeted a number of areas and were delighted with players brought in. "For us, it was always going to be a difficult market if we were interested in one or two. It was always going to be very difficult to get someone in. We looked at it, it didn't quite happen, but as a club we are happy with what we have."Although Leicester beat overwhelming odds to win the Premier League title in 2016, they have not finished above ninth since and Rodgers said their target this season was to break into the top six and qualify for European competition.

"Everyone talks about getting into the top six. For us, we want to knock as heavily as we can on that door and push," Rodgers added.
