Leicester flop Adrien Silva keen for Sporting Lisbon return

Leicester flop Adrien Silva admits he is keen to return to his former club Sporting Lisbon.

The Portugal international was on loan at Monaco before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to football across most of the world, and he made just 21 first-team appearances for the Foxes since making his debut in January 2018 – despite costing £22million when he joined from Sporting nearly three years ago.

Problems with registration meant he was not cleared to play until the following winter.
