Nampalys Mendy announces Leicester exit plans

Nampalys Mendy admits he wants to leave Leicester City.

The 29-year-old midfielder broke the Foxes' transfer record when he was signed by former boss Claudio Ranieri from Nice for £13million in 2016.

Mendy signed a contract extension last year until 2023 but a proposed move away to Galatasaray fell through in September.

The France-born star helped Senegal beat Congo 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

Afterwards he told local media: "I would really love to leave Leicester. It is normal, and logical.

"I hope that a deal can be done. But I will need to be patient."
