Caleb Okoli puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Leicester City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Crawley Town come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Leicester City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Leicester City
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

It had gone 6 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Leicester City promote David Harvey from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. David Harvey has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

David Williams steps up from the Leicester City academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. David Williams has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
