Leicester signing Simpson shocked by QPR decision

Leicester City signing Danny Simpson is surprised over his move from QPR.

Simpson joined the Foxes on the weekend.

The fullback said: "I was quite surprised when Harry Redknapp pulled me into his office said Leicester City had made an enquiry, how do I feel and that he was happy to let me go.

"I had enjoyed a good pre-season and was ready to hit the ground running in the Premier League, so it was a little bit of a shock after the year I'd had.

"I thought about what he said and decided I wanted to play for Leicester City and improve my opportunity for first-team football. Harry's brought in a lot of players, so you have to respect his decision. However, I am ready to push on with Leicester now and work as hard as I possibly can."
