Leicester City is cutting ties with Jannik Vestergaard, one of their worst transfer signings. The Denmark international has held talks about terminating his contract, which has a year to run.

What went wrong for Vestergaard?

Vestergaard's time at Leicester City has been underwhelming, with the defender failing to establish himself as an effective top-flight operator. His signing was met with skepticism by fans, who questioned the reported fee of 15 million.

Why it matters for Leicester City

The club's decision to offload Vestergaard is a significant one, given his lucrative contract. Vestergaard has not reported for training sessions called by new manager Russell Martin, as discussions continue over a settlement on his deal. This move feels entirely in keeping with his underwhelming spell at the club.

What comes next for Leicester City?

As Leicester City looks to move on from Vestergaard, the team is focused on improving their standing in the Championship, where they currently sit 23rd with 46 points, having scored 58 goals and conceded 68, and are 49 points behind leaders Coventry. With a recent form of WDDLL, the team will be looking to turn their season around.
