Leicester City reportedly refused to let goalkeeper Daniel Iversen depart the club, despite interest from several Championship teams.
With the transfer window now closed after a relatively quiet summer for Premier League clubs, English sides must proceed with their current squads.
Leicester City, newly promoted to the Premier League, made efforts to strengthen their team by signing key players like Odsonne Edouard on loan and Oliver Skipp on a permanent deal from Tottenham Hotspur.
However, the Foxes were also determined to keep their current roster intact. According to journalist Alan Nixon via his Patreon, the club blocked a deadline day move for goalkeeper Iversen.
“Leicester City slapped a big price tag on keeper Daniel Iversen on deadline day – and cost him a move,” Nixon reported.

The second half was much better than the first, but a 2-0 gap is a big hill to climb (unless you’re Bournemouth). We’ve surrendered a goal inside the first half-hour in all three Premier League matches and we’re not a team that’s going to create enough chances to have to come from behind every match.
Can’t fault the effort and commitment from the players today very unlucky in the end, have to tighten up at the back but start seeing what we’re trying to do going forward, long season ahead it was never going be easy but play with that hunger and battling spirit fan will be
