Leicester City Release Hossein Kaebi

Kaebi who made two successive starts for Leicester last week is among 7 players to have been released by the Foxes.

Leicester boss, Holloway said: “I feel for them. They need to get on with their lives. They did not have a future here, and I wish them the best of luck. I have sent them away from now until the transfer window opens so that they can try to get themselves fixed up with moves or trials at other clubs”.

Holloway made it clear last week that he was looking to make changes to his squad in the January transfer window. "There'll be some who won't be here for Christmas, I'll be sending them home. Their agents will be told to try and get something for January. I think that's the easiest thing I can do. I've already brought one or two trialists in who have lifted the group because they're hungry, they want to play, they want a chance and they're already showing that."

Holloway had expressed his frustration with Kaebi’s poor English, despite the Iranian moving to England several months ago.

Kaebi was one of the 14 players who moved to Leicester in the summer, but 5 of these players have now been released. The Foxes currently linger near the foot of the table and need to quickly address their form if they are to climb up the table away from the drop zone. 

Kaebi has been linked with a move back to Iranian League leaders, Perspolis, in recent weeks.
