Tielemans was the similar kind of signing- rough diamonds as Rodgers would say.  

Tielemans was 23 when we signed him, Pepe is 27. Tielemans was coming to the Premier League from a weak league, whereas Pepe has been underperforming in the Premier League for the last three seasons.

Don't want us lumbered with this kind of player for a potential new manager 

[foxy boxing]

I doubt Rodgers would be able to get a Pepe out of him!. 

[Richmondfox]

If (big doubt) we got him and Rodger’s is still here, I’m sure by Christmas he will have every attacking instinct drilled out of him.  Great pass completion stats but it would be backwards to Amartey and Evans. 

[Hitesh]

Would have thought his wages would be a lot unless Arsenal stump up a large %

[SemperEadem]

Turned us down.

Good...let's not be rushed into signing players who don't want to be here

More interestingly we was willing pay his full wages even though we are broke 

 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Gone to Nice, thank goodness.

He's joining Kasper?

[Sankey93]

Ffs! I reckon he would have been a decent player for us yano, shame.

[lcfc_forever]

Suspect he didn't want to stay in England given his experience so far in the PL.

 

But interesting we're making moves for players if this is true, albeit on loan. 

[Sankey93]

Apparently we was offering to pay his full wage. If this is true then maybe we will see sommit happen next week. 

[LestaLad]

Clearly didn’t fancy another season in the Prem then. Will probs do his confidence some good being back in Ligue 1, although I do think he would’ve done well for us, seemed just the type of player we lacked on that right side.

No UK sources are reporting this from what I can see, so it’s probably not true.
 

If it was, I’m sure the UK media would have loved to kick little old Leicester when we are down.

They are saving that for next Thursday morning.

I reckon we have sounded out a new manager already who has given us a few targets to work on .

[FoxesWalk]

reportedly done deal, can probably close the thread 

[Muzzy_no7]

How much did Arsenal pay for him? Was it 70?

 

Has to go down as one of the biggest PL flops since Shevchenko?

Who the f**# would choose Nice over Leicester? I mean c'mon, seriously?

Correct boat on the Mediterranean or a boat on the soar. What more could you want
