Confirmed he does not play Saturday by Leicester. Not a surprise exactly.
For all parties we should try hard to sort this out over the weekend. It is unsettling the player, his club and not helping us either to have potential Summer transfer business argued over weeks in advance.
We need to either do a deal now for Summer or pull out for good. And Leicester need to give the player some proper peace of mind as to their intentions in June and get him back playing for his state of mind and their possible shot at Europe.
Continuing the showdown benefits nobody.
