Brendan Rodgers reveals Leicester City's stance on Hamza Choudhury amid transfer links

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers revealed that they would rather sell Hamza Choudhury than loan him out. The 23-year-old midfielder is seeking more game-time and while the Foxes have received loan offers for him, Rodgers has said they aren’t “attractive” propositions for the club, who would prefer to keep him, or sell him outright. Choudhury has started four of the club’s six Europa League games so far, but rotation for European fixtures is less likely in the knockout stages, so player’s game-time is set to be further reduced. As a result, he has attracted interest from the likes of Newcastle and West Brom, but while there are loan offers on the table from unnamed clubs. Speaking on Choudhury situation, Rodgers said: “It’s one where the stage he’s at in his career, he’s played enough games, so it’s something where a loan deal isn’t an overly attractive one at this moment in time. If he does go out, it may be to get games. He wants to play, which is natural. “He’s got players ahead of him, Wilf Ndidi’s ahead of him as a defensive midfield player, Papy Mendy is ahead of him, so it just brings him down the squad and makes his chances of playing in this season half of the season limited. “It’s just something that we’re not in a big rush to do, but because of the enquiries over a loan, I just wanted to make it clear that he’s not really a player that we’re overly keen on loaning. “If someone is looking to buy him, or sees his qualities to buy then that’s a different matter. We’ll see what January brings on that front." Source- LeicestershireLive Join us on Telegram
