Russell Martin makes Leicester City transfer embargo admission after summer overhaul

Russell Martin addressed Leicester City's two-week summer transfer embargo ahead of their upcoming clash against Luton Town. The temporary restriction arose under the EFL's Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP) following an independent review regarding future Premier League distributions. Martin admitted the embargo created difficulties and delayed business, but confirmed the club still secured their primary targets.

Martin praised incoming players, specifically citing Wes Burns from Ipswich Town, for their patience and commitment during the disruption. Although the embargo forced Leicester to travel to their pre-season camp in Spain with a depleted squad, Martin expressed complete satisfaction with the reconstructed squad following the summer overhaul.
