Izzet Commits To Foxes

Last updated : 10 January 2004 By Mad Reporter
Izzet, who has been a transfer for both Aston Villa and Blackburn during the last few weeks, has pledged his future to the Foxes until at least the end of this season.

"I've had a chat with Micky Adams and there has been some interest in me. But I feel I've come this far with Leicester and I owe it to the club and myself to keep us in the Premiership," he said.

"I will then look at the bigger picture at the end of the season. I can then look at exactly what I can and can't do.

"Micky was very complimentary. He wants to keep me. We feel that if we can keep this team together, we can stay in this division.

"That's the whole point of this stance I am making now and hopefully that puts it all to rest.

"When you get interest from other clubs you do have to sit and think about it. You can't just turn around and say no.

"But I feel the best thing is to stop until the end of the season and see what happens then."
