Leicester City's new head of recruitment Martyn Glover has started work.

The Leicester Mercury says Glover took up his position at City over the weekend after his period of gardening leave at Southampton ended.

Following Lee Congerton's departure to Atalanta in the spring, City picked out Glover as his replacement, but as part of his exit from the Saints he was not able to start at the club until after the end of the summer transfer window.

It was a window that did not go to plan for City, and particularly for manager Brendan Rodgers.

He had hoped for five or six new faces as part of a shake-up of the squad, but financial concerns and an inability to move players through the exit door left the club with just one new outfield player in the form of centre-back Wout Faes.
