Michail Antonio Training With Leicester City as Free-Agent Talks Continue

Manager Marti Cifuentes says the 35-year-old is being assessed as short-term attacking cover.

Overview

  • Cifuentes confirmed the veteran forward has trained this week, praised his condition, and said no agreement has been reached.
  • Antonio visited the training ground for discussions on Thursday, according to The Telegraph’s John Percy.
  • As an out-of-contract player, he could be registered outside the transfer window if Leicester decide to proceed.
  • Leicester are weighing extra options up front with Patson Daka set to join Zambia for the Africa Cup of Nations and goals in short supply.
  • Antonio has not played senior club football since a December 2024 car crash that broke his leg, though he featured for Jamaica in the summer and for West Ham’s U21s while rebuilding fitness.
