Foxy Move For Pedro?

LEICESTER City are expected to lodge a £400,000 bid for Peter Canero with Kilmarnock today, (Jan 13th) which should enable the midfielder to make his Premiership debut against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
City failed to send written confirmation of their bid to Rugby Park last night, but a discussion between club manager Jim Jefferies and the prospective buyers has paved the way for a swift transfer, which could be completed by this evening if the Kilmarnock accept the bid.

It had been feared that the 21-year-old would sign a pre-contract agreement and see out the last six months of his deal, while Kilmarnock would only be entitled to compensation having developed the player over seven years.

Canero has reportedly rejected their offer of a three-year contract and a 60% pay rise in favour of a fresh challenge south of the border, and he regards the move as essential to boost his international prospects.
Peter has been included in the Scotland future team in the recent match against Turkey and is in contention for a place in Berti Vogts' squad for the friendly against Wales next month.

JJ's Comments..."Peter has been offered a three-year contract with us, but he has intimated that he might want to move on. He's entitled to do that because he's out of contract at the end of the season.  We've not heard anything officially but, unofficially, we've had a tentative enquiry. That may be followed up in Sunday or Monday so we'll see. It's a similar situation Stephen Pearson was in at Motherwell and I'm not going to let Peter go for a paltry sum. But we'll get nothing at the end of the season for him so, if the offer is reasonable, it's money that the club needs and, maybe, part of that can be used to bring in a couple of new players before the deadline. There is nothing in writing yet. We'll look at the next 48 hours to see if anything concrete comes in and it will be up to Peter to decide."
