Leicester City plan ambitious Carew swoop
11:00 AM 04 January, 2011
Fans FC understand Leicester City Football Club are planning an adventurous swoop for John Carew.
The 31-year-old is heading towards the end of his contract at Aston Villa, who are hoping to offload him in January rather than lose him for nothing in the summer.
A return to Turkish club Besiktas has been mooted over the past couple of months, but Sven Goran Eriksson is hoping to persuade the Norwegian to stay in England.
The former Manchester City coach is currently in charge of Leicester, where he is slowly going about building a side capable of securing promotion to the Premier League this season.
Eriksson hopes to land Carew for a knockdown price this month and will offer him a two-and-a-half year deal, with a non-promotion release clause for this summer.
Did Marky say a two and a half year deal.... ahem.
