Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare has revealed that he expects to receive latest updates on the case of Adrien Silva within the next 24 to 48 hours.

The Foxes signed the Portugal midfielder from Sporting Lisbon in a deadline day move worth £22m; however, the transfer hasn't been finalised yet as FIFA received the official paperwork 14 seconds after the deadline.

However, the officials at the club have claimed that they had been granted an extension of one hour to complete the deal.

"Unfortunately, it's still an ongoing process," Shakespeare said ahead of Saturday's trip to Huddersfield.

"I'd love to be in a position to be able to say he's available for selection but as a footballing department we're just waiting for the legal processes to take place. So, there's no further news, sorry.

"Yes, (it is taking time) but unfortunately again I don't have any hold on that and I have to make sure that people have processes to do.

"I'm waiting for news, I'm waiting for an update, which hopefully I'll get in the next 24 to 48 hours.

"We need to give the process the chance to go along and then see where we are at.

"He can train, but he can't train with the group, no. He has been down to the training ground. You know he was at the game on Saturday.
