Leicester loanee Barnes staying put despite Diabate exit

Leicester City attacker Fousseni Diabate is heading out on loan.

The 23-year-old is set to play for Sivasspor in the Turkish Super Lig for the rest of the season.

He has only managed three first team games this season.

And given the striker's departure, it means that academy graduate Harvey Barnes may be recalled from West Brom.

Leicester are a little short in attacking positions for the remainder of the campaign.

But a decision still has not been made, with Leicestershire Live suggesting that it is still more likely that he will stay at Albion until the end of the season.
