League One - Foxes warn Leeds off Gradel

PA Sport - Mon, 30 Nov 14:35:00 2009

Leeds United have been warned off making a permanent bid to sign on-loan winger Max Gradel by parent club Leicester City.

FOOTBALL Leicester City Max Gradel - 0

The League One leaders recently extended Gradel's stay at Elland Road until the start of January, and United boss Simon Grayson is keen to keep the 21-year-old Ivorian for the remainder of the season.

However, anything more than a season-long loan looks unlikely after City chief Nigel Pearson issued a "hands-off" warning.

"He is not for sale - it's as simple as that," Pearson told the Yorkshire Post.

"Max is a player who has had limited opportunities here this season and that is why he is on loan.

"It gives him an opportunity to be playing games, which is important to us, while it is difficult for him to get in our side."

  18. Well said d.anthonyparker. Not surprised you posted it­ twice, it was that good. Also, due to david w's­ illiteracy, it was probably required!!
    If Gradel's­ as intelligent as his football skills,he will realise­ soon that with Leeds United is where his future­ lies.
    Good comments though david w, Leicester should be­ proud of your intelligent input!!!!!!!!! W*E*L*L*­ D*O*N*E!

I see you had­ a BIG win over another BIG club tonight, well done,­ hear that Gradel played well in his LAST game for your­ League One side ...not hard against the likes of Oldham­ though is it ??..you C*O*C*K !!
