Leicester make permanent deal decision for Roma winger Cengiz Under

Leicester City are set to pass on a permanent deal for Roma winger Cengiz Under.

Under has spent the season at the King Power Stadium from Roma, but has struggled to nail down a first-team place under boss Brendan Rodgers.

Roma had hoped Under would impress enough to convince the Foxes to make a permanent move for the Turkey international in the summer.

Under has scored two goals and registered three assists during his time at the club, but has only played 941 minutes of football under Rodgers this season, most of which have come in the Europa League.

Roma had hoped to bank around £20m from Leicester had they decided to sign him, but they are set to miss out after Corriere dello Sport claimed they will have to look elsewhere for potential suitors.
