Mattock Requests Transfer

Last updated : 06 August 2009 By Joe Harris
The 19-year-old has been at the centre of transfer speculation for the past two seasons, with Aston Villa amongst the teams reported to be interested in the players services.

However, it is expected that he will join Championship rivals West Bromwich Albion, with the Foxes expected to demand a considerable transfer fee.

It is believed that Mattock, who has made a total of 70 appearances for the club, handed in a transfer request at the beginning of last season. However, he decided to stay at the Walkers Stadium and help the Foxes win the League One title.

Pearson, despite showing frustration at his Left Back's decision, has enough cover at the left back position for Mattock's potential departure to lack any long term damage to the Foxes Championship prospects.
