Whites to miss out on Fox

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson has warned his Leeds counterpart Simon Grayson not to bother making a bid for Max Gradel.

The 22-year-old winger is on loan at Leeds where he has made a big impact as a supersub but despite the fact he will find first-team football hard to come by at the Foxes, Pearson says he will not be moving on permanently.

"He's not for sale, it's as simple as that," Pearson told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"Max is a player who has had limited opportunities here this season and that's why he is on loan.

"It gives him an opportunity to be playing games, which is important to us while it's difficult for him to get in our side."
