Harewood or Connolly for Leicester?

Norwich, Crystal Palace, Leeds and Nottingham Forest are also reported to be interested in signing him. West Ham are not keen on making the sale, Allan Pardew maintaining that Harewood is very much part of his plans for next season. With the high level of competition surrounding his signature, I feel it's unlikely that Leicester will make this particular signing.

Perhaps more credible, is the suggestion that David Connolly may soon be joining Leicester City from West Ham. West Ham certainly need to make some money, and surely can't keep the players they have on Premiership wages for another season.

I saw Connolly play for West Ham last season, and he's certainly hungry for goal, sometimes at the expense of an overall team effort. Provided he could be more of a team player, he would do really well at Leicester.
