Leicester City Make Submission to FIFA Over Adrien Silva Transfer in Bid to Complete Registration

Leicester City still haven't given up on having Adrien Silva in their squad before January.

The Portuguese midfielder joined the club from Sporting CP over the summer, but 14 seconds too late as the transfer window slammed shut before they were able to close the deadline-day deal.

Silva has been left hanging as he's unable to play for Leicester, or even train with the squad. He's also not able to play for the Primeira Liga side, who completed things on their end.

The Foxes have made a submission to FIFA to have the £22m move finalised so the player can register and suit up for Craig Shakespeare's squad, per the Leicester Mercury.
