Giacomo Fedel hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Leicester City can pretend not to have heard.

Daniel Watson has said yes to Newport County
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Leicester City have lost him in all but the paperwork.
