Portugal international Adrien Silva is finally free to play for Leicester City - four months after agreeing to join the club from Sporting CP.
Silva, 28, looked set to join the Foxes on deadline day last summer as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Danny Drinkwater, but the paperwork from his transfer arrived 14 seconds late.
As a result, world football's governing body FIFA rejected Leicester's appeal to register Silva, leaving the midfielder in limbo.
However, the France-born playmaker has now been officially registered following the start of the January transfer window and he is looking forward to putting a difficult few months behind him.
