Leicester boss Sousa: Blackpool pushing for DJ
Leicester City boss Paulo Sousa has hinted DJ Campbell could be sold.
Just days before the close of August's transfer window, the Blackpool target was missing from the struggling Foxes' 2-1 home defeat by Reading.
But Sousa said: "DJ is our player. He belongs to Leicester. And we make the best decisions for the club.
"Blackpool keep pushing but until now we don't decide yet."
Sousa did admit, however, that he is not the sort of manager to keep hold of an unhappy player.
"DJ does not have his mind in our club," Sousa told BBC Radio Leicester. "Then it's a good decision to stay out [of the side].
"He started the season scoring goals and was very happy. And he's an important player.
"But when his head is not with us, then it is better to leave him out as he can give us nothing."
