Reports that Elijah Adebayo was offered a deal from Leicester and had been seen at the training ground were later dismissed as untrue.

Reports from several ITK accounts suggested that Elijah Adebayo, a 28-year-old English-Nigerian centre-forward, was at Leicester's training ground for a photoshoot and had accepted a contract proposal. However, later that same day, Adebayo appeared for Bristol City as a trialist, wearing the number 45 shirt. The free agent has been training with Bristol City for a while. It is claimed that the deal with Leicester is completed, and it is also suggested that the move could still happen despite the conflicting events. His current market value is €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
