Leicester City’s summer recruitment strategy is under growing scrutiny after Claudio Ranieri revealed £7.5million signing Bartosz Kapustka is not ready to play in the Premier League.

Kapustka, the Poland international, is yet to make an appearance for the champions since signing in August and Leicester are already preparing to send the winger out on loan in the New Year.

It is alleged that Kapustka was never watched live by any members of Leicester’s recruitment team before signing and could even have been recruited off the back of his performances at Euro 2016.
