Yesterday morning a number of ITK accounts reported on Elijah Adebayo being spotted at the Leicester training ground, doing a photoshoot as well as having accepted a contract proposal from Leicester. Later in the evening Adebayo was in action for Bristol City, coming on, wearing shirt number 45, being named “trialist”.
According to Bristol City sources, he has been at the club for a while to train. He is a free agent and filling in the numbers. With The Robins signing Laurent Tolaj, a move for Adebayo looks far from happening. Lorent Tolaj signed for Bristol City on the 20th of July. Still no news about Elijah Adebayo joining, being at the club since 14th of July or possibly longer.
Bristol City also have three other strikers on contract. Emil Riis Jakobsen, Yu Hirakawa and Sam Bell are the other alternatives to Lorent Tolaj, so it looks strange if Adabayo will be added.
The transfer talk of Elijah Adebayo is one obscure, said by Bristol City fans to have been up at Leicester and down for this game at Bristol City. Accordingly something being planned for this game to give Adebayo minutes, possilby an agreement and not having better options on the bench for this game. A great result for Bristol City in the end, winning 4-1 vs. Newcastle. Harvey Barnes scored the Magpies goal. A bit of involvement from “trialist” Adebayo, wearing the number 45 shirt.
The Leicester deal is completed, according to Bristol City sources. We just have to wait for the last words said on this special situation, and if Elijah Adebayo officially comes to Leicester.
Not to make any more confusion, but we believe that this Adebayo to Leicester move is still something that could happen. This based on the information we have from Bristol City sources.
🚨 Leicester City have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Brighton & Hove Albion left-winger Tommy Watson, as per @SportsPeteO.

Yesterday Leicestershire Live Journalist Josh Holland wrote a note about Swansea attacker Liam Cullen to Leicester. Today he has a piece on Tommy Watson. The sources for both moves are not the most reliable, we will wait and see if this happens.
What we can confirm is the fact that Kian Pennant has joined Brackley Town. The 22-year-old arrives at St James Park after leaving National League side Woking and adds further pace, creativity and attacking quality to Andy Whing’s squad.
Pennant came through the academy at Leicester City, leaving earlier in the year. He progressed through the age groups before earning recognition with England’s Under-19s. During his time with the Foxes, he gained valuable senior experience on loan with Gateshead. Following his spell at Gateshead, Pennant made a permanent move to Woking, where he continued his development in the National League before now making the move to Brackley Town.
Brackely Town competes in a tier below Gateshead, which can be seen as the 6th tier of English football.
