Market

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.

Market

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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Samson Tovide

Leicester City asked and Watford said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Cheltenham 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.

Transfer targets

Jonathan Coenen due for a Leicester City medical

Everything agreed with Oxford United, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Conor Chaplin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leicester City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Joseph Spencer among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Joseph Spencer on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Leicester City and Luton Town.

Match

A bad afternoon for Leicester City against Luton Town

2‑4 to Luton Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Leicester City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luke Thomas is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
