​Leicester signing Adrien Silva returns to Sporting Lisbon

Leicester City midfielder Adrien Silva handed a hero's welcome by the fans upon his return back to Sporting Lisbon.

Silva made a move to City from Sporting Lisbon during the summer but the midfielder is still not eligible to play for the Foxes due to problems with the registration.

Therefore, Silva is currently biding his time in Portugal at the moment and the former captain of Sporting was handed a rousing reception from the fans at the Estádio José Alvalade on Sunday when they squared off against rivals Porto.
