HULL CITY: Foxes' Zayatte loan could open door for Ayala
HULL City defender Kamil Zayatte will be a transfer target for Leicester City when the loan window reopens next week.
Having failed to secure a deal for the Guinea international on transfer deadline day, the Foxes are prepared to take him on loan.
Currently away on international duty, the centre-half is one of the Tigers' better paid players after signing for £2.5m from Young Boys Berne in their first top-flight season.
But the 25-year-old has been in erratic form this season, despite featuring in every game of the campaign.
Foxes boss Paulo Sousa wants to recruit a new central defender and he missed out on a big-money deal for Ashley Williams from his former club Swansea earlier this week.
With loans now his only option, he views Zayatte as a good solution to his recruitment dilemma.
Moving Zayatte on, even on-loan, would allow City to free up cash to bring in Liverpool defender Daniel Ayala.
A season-long loan deal has already been agreed in principle with the Reds and the 19-year-old defender should switch when City can make room on the club's tight wage bill.

“off the topic but now i think bullard should be in the playing XI .With bullard,bostock,koren in the midfield,AG in the defence,simpson and cullen upfront looks a pretty good team.(Atleast on paper)”

“Zayette could be a force up front, just look at how many times the ball bounced off him into our own net!
But seriously, if Leicester want Zayette, Halmosi and McShane can't we put them all in the same taxi and raise the funds at the next home game with a bucket collection? My pound is waiting to be deposited.”

“Worried very worried. Strong rumours that half the first team have handed in transfer requests. My mate who is a junior at Leicester says that Sousa wants Zayettee, Halmosi and McShane.
Matty Fryatt wants to join Nigel Pearson in Hull and Hobbs, Gallacher and Wellens are also wanting away. Could be a busy time for taxi drivers between Hull and Leicester next week.”

“Zayatte! - I tell you.play him up front! He's strong,fearless,unpredictable and could unsettle a defence. Cullen or Simpson or both would score from the mayhem he would cause.Not powder-puffs Fagan or Folan or even Spongebob Squarepants as someone suggested earlier. We want a brute,someone ugly,someone with canniballistic tendencies - Zayatte fits the bill!!!”

“Paul = "he may do a job for us at this level,"
You mean like all the other ex PL dross we are lumbered with ? Who played in the Pl and has impressed in the Chump ? Dawson ? Gardner ? Cairney ? Zay ? Spongebob Squarepants Ash ? Solano ? Who then ?
Who like the phoenix has risen from the ashes of the PL ? Do tell.
It's bollox. Get real. They are not good enough. When stuck with no ideas, just say "But he will do a job for us in the ChumP."”
