Leicester's appeal to register Adrien Silva has been rejected by FIFA.

The Foxes and the Football Association had asked FIFA to ratify the midfielder's transfer after the paperwork for the £22million deadline day move from Sporting Lisbon was submitted 14 seconds late.

But it has been denied and Silva will now not be registered to play for Leicester until January.
