Confirmed Transfer Nampalys Mendy

[Jeff]

Leicester City can today (Sunday) confirm that we have reached agreement with OGC Nice for the transfer of Nampalys Mendy, subject to Premier League and FA approval.

Nampalys, 24, has agreed terms on a four-year contract and will become Leicester City’s third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Ron-Robert Zieler and Luis Hernandez.

Speaking to LCFC.com, Mendy said: “I am very happy to come to Leicester City. The team have just enjoyed a great season and it’s excellent to be here. For me I want to play at this level. I like the Premier League and I follow every match. It’s fast and physical and I want to impose myself on the league.

“I know the coach (Claudio Ranieri), I know his mentality and I know his philosophy. When he speaks it’s direct and clear and for me I like this."

Excellent. Hopefully an addition rather than a replacement for Kante.

Nice.

Walsh spending that amount of money makes him a very exciting signing.

Excellent. Hopefully an addition rather than a replacement for Kante.

great signing, who our staff willimprove to a full international, new transfer record (till Tuesday when Musa joins)

 

[City Fan]

We seem to now have an embarrassing amount of riches in midfield:

Mendy/Kante/Drinkwater/King/Inler/James/Amartey

If Kante doesn't go, could we see Inler and/or James exit the building I wonder?

 

[Mawsley]

Welcome Makedo.

Why would James be exiting? Surely he will be given every opportunity to break into the first team he wasnt exactly shabby in our first season with Cambo.

Will be highly amusing if this lad turns out to be as good as Kante with every top flight manager saying we were looking at him to but not having the minerals to buy him.

Is Mr. Mendy a Ranieri signing or a Walsh signing?

 

[camberwell fox]

Any idea of the fee anyone?

 

[pork pie fox]

How much is his release clause?

 

[SJN-Fox]

50 marbles.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Any idea of the fee anyone?

I think I read £13m somewhere. Can't remember where though.

The Mockery

 

[camberwell fox]

Transfer record (for the moment), at least.

 

[Lako42]

Good stuff, crazy that £13m hardly raises an eyebrow these days.

Ill be happy if we get that Musa lad as well.

Exciting times, cant wait for the new season

Is Mr. Mendy a Ranieri signing or a Walsh signing?

No idea. I'd be happy to trust the judgement of either man though.
