Leicester midfielder Dennis Praet seals deadline day exit to Torino on season-long loan... as Foxes continue talks with Newcastle over deal to offload Hamza Choudhury until next summer

Dennis Praet has left Leicester to join Torino on a season’s loan, with the Foxes still in talks with Newcastle for Hamza Choudhury to move to St James’ Park on a similar basis.

Both Praet and Choudhury have been surplus to requirements since the end of last season for boss Brendan Rodgers, with Newcastle showing strong interest in Choudhury in each of the previous two transfer windows.

The arrival of Boubakary Soumare from Lille this summer, plus the emergence of youth product Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, means Leicester are able to move on from Praet and Choudhury.
