Leicester City attacker Adrien Silva could be on the way back to Sporting CP.

Silva, 29, has failed to establish himself at Leicester following a protracted £22million move in 2017 from Sporting.

The Foxes are now ready to offload him when the window opens.

He has made just five appearances so far this season with only two in the Premier League in the opening games against Manchester United and Wolves.

And a return to Sporting is now being mooted, reports the Mirror.
