Mpenza close to City exit

Manchester City striker Emile Mpenza could be heading to Championship strugglers Leicester City, according to the player's agent.

Rachid Tajmot has said the 29-year-old Belgium international is almost certain to be heading out of Eastlands after failing to make a first-team appearance in the Premier League for four months.

"I have already been called several times by the people of Leicester," Tajmot told Het Laatste. "But we are looking at all the options."

Meanwhile, Sven-Goran Eriksson insists he has no intention of selling Ched Evans.

The Welsh teenager has enjoyed a successful loan spell with Norwich City this season, scoring six times in 22 appearances for the Championship side.

But Eriksson told City's official website: "We do not have any plans to sell him. A little bit depends on him and he's doing well at the moment for Norwich and his country.

"If I had to make a plan today, it is to take him back for pre-season, look at him and decide from there. That will be his big chance."
