Leicester sign Ignasi Miquel on season-long loan
LEICESTER have signed Arsenal defender Ignasi Miquel on a season-long loan and manager Nigel Pearson is considering throwing him straight into the side for tomorrow’s home clash with Leeds.
The 6ft 4ins Spain Under-21 international has provided the Foxes with some much-needed height.
Pearson openly admits his side were ‘bullied’ by Leeds last term and is desperate to avoid a repeat this time around.
Miquel’s a young centre-back with lots of potential
“Miquel’s a young centre-back with lots of potential,” said Pearson.
“He’s another option for us. We’ll judge where he’s at in terms of availability.”
