Ruud van Nistelrooy on Leicester City links to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Ahead of the Villa clash, Ruud van Nistelrooy held his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
A number of topics were discussed in the presser, one of which was Leicester’s links to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
When asked about Dewsbury-Hall on Thursday, Van Nistelrooy mentioned that his side can’t currently sign anymore players on loan, as per Leicestershire Live.
He said: “You can’t have any more Premier League loans, so you have to deal with the current situation. But we will explore all possibilities. We are working with Jon, Martyn, the scouts and we’re looking everywhere.”
Ruud van Nistelrooy on Odsonne Edouard future
Leicester’s two loan slots from the Premier League are currently being taken up by Odsonne Edouard and Facundo Buonanotte.
There were reports recently that claimed Edouard will return to Crystal Palace in January, opening up a loan place.
But when speaking at his press conference ahead of Villa, Van Nistelrooy stated he expected the Eagles loanee to stay put.
He said: “Odsonne is part of our squad. He’s one of the two Premier League loans we have. We expect him and Facundo Buonanotte to be at the club.”
As a result, if Leicester want to sign Dewsbury-Hall in January, they will have to bring him in on a permanent transfer.
