Michail Antonio’s proposed deal with Leicester City has been cancelled after the striker sustained an injury in training. Michail Antonio had been training with the Championship club for the past month and was in talks over a short-term contract. Following Leicester City's 2-1 win over West Brom on Monday, manager Marti Cifuentes confirmed that the club will no longer be pursuing a deal for the 35-year-old. Cifuentes told reporters that Antonio unfortunately had a small setback during the training with them and that this means they will not proceed in the process they started.

Michail Antonio, a free agent after leaving West Ham in the summer, has been training at Seagrave over the past few weeks and is the leading candidate to fill a forward position in the Leicester City squad.

The BBC and The Mirror report, after conversations with Leicester manager Marti Cifuentes, that Michail Antonio is training with Leicester City in the hope of earning a contract and wants to revive his career after a difficult year. Cifuentes said at a press conference that Antonio looks good and brings experience, adding that they are taking it easy. It is still unclear whether Leicester will sign Antonio.

Michail Antonio, a 35-year-old free agent, is in talks to sign with Championship side Leicester City. The Jamaica international has not played senior football since his contract with West Ham was not renewed in the summer. According to The Telegraph, Antonio trained with the club and held discussions about a potential contract with the Foxes on Thursday. A short-term deal is considered a possibility that could be suitable for both parties, as Antonio is keen to return to playing and Leicester's finances are reportedly stretched. To maintain his fitness, Antonio had also trained with Brentford earlier in the season. The forward has 24 caps and 5 goals for Jamaica and has a current market value of €700k, according to Transfermarkt.
