Dany N'Guessan set for Leicester City move?

Rumours are rife this morning that Dany N'Guessan is all set to sign for Leicester City, who have won the League 1 Championship this season. It is believed they have offered Dany a 3 year contract andit is thought the deal is set to be finalised as soon as possible.

There have been numerous clubs following N'Guessan since January with clubs such as Hull City, Wigan Athletic, West Brom, Sheffield United, Leeds and MK Dons believed to be just some of those to have been showing an interest in the talented Frenchman.

As Dany N'Guessan is under 24, Lincoln will recieve a transfer fee which is likely to go to a tribunal. It has been mentioned that a percentage of the transfer fee will go to his previous club Glasgow Rangers as a sell on clause is in place.

The not so magnificent seven

Lincoln City have released 7 players from their squad with effect from the end of the season. The released (not so magnificent seven) players are Ayden Duffy, Frank Sinclair, Owain Warlow, Gary King, Martin Pembleton, Geoff Horsfield and Ben Wright.

The release of these players also comes at the time when the club have announced there will be a reduction in Peter Jackson's player budget for the new season. This is believed to be due to the average attendance for the past season to be less than the figure that the club had projected. The club had expected the average to be in the region of around 4,300 to 4,500 but the average eventually settled at just under 4,000.

Dany N'Guessan, Adrian Patulea and Sam Mullarkey have all been offered new deals for next season. Also, Lee Beevers offer is still on the table that was offered to him earlier in the season and the club are due to sit down with the player's representatives to discuss this offer.

Lee Frecklington is also set to complete a permanent move to Peterborough in the coming week that is thought to net the club close to £200,000.

The club are expected to receive further money from clauses relating to Jack Hobbs transfer to Leicester City and also Peterborough's promotion to the Championship meaning we receive money from the time that Keith Alaxander was their manager.

It is widely expected that Dany N'Guessan will reject the Imps latest offer and move onto a bigger club. As he is under 24 years old, Lincoln City are entitled to a fee which will be set by a tribunal. Many clubs have been linked to Dany since January and some of the clubs still being linked to Dany include Leeds, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Cardiff, Scunthorpe, Burnley and Preston. Other clubs rumoured to have been linked since January include Marseilles, Valencia, Wigan, Hull, West Brom and MK Dons. The Dons had 2 bids for Dany turned down in the January transfer window.
