Things haven’t gone well for Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester City, and Caleb Okoli’s decisions in the transfer window will hopefully give the Foxes the boost they need to climb the Premier ladder League.
Right now, Leicester find themselves two points from safety, and while that’s an easily achievable goal to achieve, they have lost their last seven Premier League matches (Which side scored) under the Dutch.
He won his first match against West Ham United and then drew against Brighton & Hove Albion. However, they have lost every game since, apart from the 6-2 win over Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup.
Ruud van Nistelrooy hasn’t fared well at Leicester
Leicester’s next three games are all away, against Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Manchester United, before hosting Arsenal and Brentford.
Next comes West Ham to complete the circle, although they may not even be in position by the time this game comes around.
Martin Keown has already questioned van Nistelrooy’s stance, despite the Leicester board appearing to back his manager in the January transfer market.

This would suggest the club are willing to trust the Dutchman’s judgment and give him time.

“Yes, for the moment there has been a negotiation,” his agent, Alessandro Barison, reportedly told the media.
“Let’s see what happens by the end of the deal.”
If there is any doubt about van Nistelrooy remaining at the club, then they cannot accept a deal – in or out – being made by him.
That said, with so little time left in the window, the club may have left things too late to bring in someone else, and they will be hoping they can keep their heads above water at the end of the season.
