Confirmed. Deal seems like it's between 2.5-3 million pounds and can rise up to 3.5 based on future appearances.

In a related story, Leicester City will offer the 300 or so fans who have bought the new home shirt with "Piper 29" on it from the Megastore an exchange for a new home shirt with any choice of letters and numbers. It's the least they can do for selling the club's best young player, even though he'd signed a five-year deal andthe club said they'd keep their young players. Martin George, you've gotten off to an awful start as the club's new chairman.

(All "Piper 29" shirts exchanged will go to charity)
