City have already signed Barry Hayles and Steve Howard and are looking to make further additions to the squad.

"I'm putting all sorts of irons in fires," Holloway told BBC Radio Leicester. "There's three things done so far, very positive things.

"We're working as hard as we can. But it's up in the air, a bit like someone who's tripped up with a jigsaw puzzle."
