Report: Andy King can leave Leicester City if he wants

Andy King has been given the green signal to leave Leicester City this summer if he wants to.

The Welshman was part of late Deadline Day that saw him move to the Liberty Stadium, leaving Leicester after 14 years of incredible service. Although the 29-year old wanted to stay in the East Midlands with Leicester, a worrying lack of playing time meant that his days here were numbered.

Now that Andy King is a Swansea City player for the rest of the campaign, the former Chelsea ball boy could well end up moving to the Welsh club on a permanent deal, ending his long association with the club.

It recently emerged that Swansea want to make him their own shall they stay up this season, and with Leicester now willing to let him go, too, the move more or less looks inevitable as all the involved parties are very much interested.

There’s no doubting the fact that there will be a lot of sad faces as and when Andy King departs for the final time to bring down the curtains on what has been a magical career at Leicester City.

Arriving as a 15-year old from Chelsea, King soon made it into the first-team, establishing himself as a mainstay in a side that then plied its trade in the League 1.

Since then, Andy King’s career at Leicester has only been the stuff of awe, with the Welshman adding everything from the League 1 to the Sky Bet Championship and of course, the Premier league title in 2015/1 to his trophy cabinet. Till date, he remains the only player in the Premier League era to have done so.
