Emile Mpenza's agent has confirmed that Leicester have made a bid for the striker.

Leicester are hoping to strike a loan deal for Mpenza, who is currently out-of-favour at Manchester City.

The 29-year-old is currently considering his options, one of which is a bid from Leicester.

"I have already been called several times by the people of Leicester," Mpenza's agent Rachid Tajmot told Het Laatste.

"But we are looking at all the options."

Mpenza is out-of-contract in the summer and would automatically qualify for a new deal after 16 league games but he is currently short of that mark and is now unlikely to reach that figure.

Leicester will hope to seal a deal before Thursday when the transfer window for loans closes.

Sturridge

Benjani

Bojinov

Caicedo

Castillo

maybe new signing

all in front of  him

I remember posting we had 12 strikers  

Vassell, Dickov, Bianchi, Samaras, Corradi, Benjani, Caicedo, Mpenza, Sturridge, Castillo, Evans, Bojinov.

Do we need another striker. Some bleeding talent if you ask me. Why we continue with 1 striker is beyond me. Bojinov and Benjani upfront will do me next season, Caicedo waiting in the wings with sturridge. Get rid of 5 or maybe 6 if you include Vassell.

Courage, boy!

Mpenza staying at City

27/ 3/2008

CITY striker Emile Mpenza has turned down the chance of first-team action elsewhere to stay at Eastlands.

Belgium international Mpenza, 29, was wanted on loan by a number of Championship clubs for the last few weeks of the season.

Mpenza has started just eight of his 14 Barclays Premier League appearances this season, scoring twice, and Leicester were one of the clubs apparently keen to offer him more time on the field.

“There is nothing there for this moment,” said City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.

“He has had a lot of requests but so far he wants to stay. He is under contract, so it is very much up to him if he wants to stay and fight.”

Meanwhile, Eriksson expects one of his back-up goalkeepers Andreas Isaksson or Kasper Schmeichel to leave this summer.

Both Isaksson, who has been capped more than 50 times by Sweden, and Schmeichel, currently on loan at Coventry, have played in the top flight for City this season but have been forced onto the sidelines by the form of Joe Hart.

“We haven’t spoken about next season and we don’t know at this moment what is happening with our goalkeepers,” said Eriksson.

“The situation is good as it is, for us, but I can understand that Andreas and Kasper want to play regular football.

“I should be quite surprised if both of them want to stay, I am quite sure that one of them would like to leave.”

Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany!

That would be my choice. I wouldn't be surprised or too sad to see both go though. I like Kasper, but his hight has always been a concern.
