Paul Konchesky joins Leicester
Leicester have continued their summer spending spree by signing Liverpool defender Paul Konchesky for ?1.5million.[LNB]The former West Ham and Fulham full-back joins the Championship club on a three-year deal after making just 18 appearances at Liverpool. [LNB]Speaking on Leicester's official website, manager Sven Goran Eriksson said: 'Paul has been a Premier League player year in and year out throughout his career so he represents a very big signing for us. [LNB] On the move: Konchesky has agreed a three-year deal with Championship outfit Leicester [LNB]'He wanted to come to Leicester City and it means a lot that proven, established top flight footballers want to be part of what we are building here. [LNB]'I know Paul very well as a player and as a person and he will be a top class addition to our squad.'[LNB] Dead wood: Jovanovic is set to follow Konchesky out of Anfield [LNB]Konchesky's departure is likely to be the first of several as Dalglish looks to shed some of the dead wood which has accumulated at Anfield. [LNB] Forward Milan Jovanovic, who arrived on a free transfer from Standard Liege last summer, is expected to be the next out of the door after scoring just twice in 18 matches. [LNB]The Serbia international started just one game under Dalglish and did not feature in the squad for the last three months of the season. [LNB]He may possibly return to Belgium with Anderlecht, although French champions Lille are believed to be interested in the 30-year-old. [LNB]Several other fringe players also seem set for the exit with 31-year-old midfielder Christian Poulsen and Joe Cole, 30 in November - both signings from the short-lived Hodgson era - linked with moves away. [LNB]Striker David Ngog appears to be surplus to requirements now and has been interesting some Barclays Premier League rivals, while the future of back-up goalkeeper Brad Jones appears in doubt with Liverpool apparently close to bringing in Roma's Brazilian Alexander Doni as Jose Reina's deputy.[LNB] Left-back Emiliano Insua, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, may have earned a reprieve, however, after he flew out to Malaysia yesterday to await the arrival of the first team squad, who play their first pre-season friendly against Guangzhou in China today. [LNB]The Argentinian did not get a visa for the China leg of the mini-tour but is hopeful of being involved against a Malaysia XI at the weekend. 'I will meet the team on Thursday. I am looking forward to playing on Saturday,' he wrote on Twitter.
