Okazaki unsettled at Leicester as Huddersfield, Crystal Palace circle

Shinji Okazaki is unsettled at Leicester City.

The Leicester Mercury says Okazaki is “anxious and impatient" to leave Leicester City and kickstart his career.

The Japanese striker has started just one Premier League game this season and has expressed his desire to move on in a bid to find regular football and boost his chances of selection for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Okazaki, who has been absent from City's last two matchday squads, has been linked with Huddersfield and, more recently, Crystal Palace - the Eagles are interested in a loan deal.

A key member of the title-winning squad, Okazaki has gradually been phased out of City's side.
