*Saga over! Adrien Silva finally free to play for Leicester City after deadline day farce*
Portugal international Adrien Silva is finally free to play for Leicester City - four months after agreeing to join the club from Sporting CP.
Silva, 28, looked set to join the Foxes on deadline day last summer as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Danny Drinkwater, but the paperwork from his transfer arrived 14 seconds late.
As a result, world football's governing body FIFA rejected Leicester's appeal to register Silva, leaving the midfielder in limbo.
However, the France-born playmaker has now been officially registered following the start of the January transfer window and he is looking forward to putting a difficult few months behind him.
Speaking to Leicester's club website, Silva said: “It’s been very frustrating, but now the difficult times are past me and now I’m very happy to be close to my goal.
“I’ve been working hard every day to arrive at this moment and I’m in good shape."
