Adrien Silva's Transfer Saga With Leicester Takes Another Twist

Related Topics: Adrien Silva, Leicester

Leicester fans will be feeling frustrated about Adrien Silva's current status at the club.

Although he is now technically a Leicester City player, reports emerged after the deal was completed that Leicester were in fact 14 seconds late submitting the required paperwork, meaning he is not legally allowed to play for Leicester until the January transfer window opens.

Whilst Leicester are still trying to convince FIFA the paperwork was submitted on time and to let him play, fresh reports are stating that even if he was eligible to play, he may not have been able to.

According to Sport Witness, Silva has returned home to Portugal on a short vacation in order to attend to a rib injury.
