Leicester manager Claude Puel has insisted that Hamza Choudhury won't be going out on loan in January and has predicted a quiet transfer window for the club.
Puel was reportedly fighting keep his job at the King Power Stadium, although recent wins against Chelsea and Manchester City have helped ease the pressure on the Frenchman, with Leicester climbing to seventh in the Premier League as a result.
One player that caught the eye during both wins was academy graduate Choudhury, with Puel now claiming that the 21-year-old will remain at the club over the January transfer window rather than going out on loan.
As quoted by the Leicester Mercury, Puel said: "

"It’s important to be ready, but the most important thing is to put in place different profiles and we will see in the summer what happens.

"We will see in the winter if we have to move a little or not or to put in loans for other players. All of my players learn and improve."
