Brendan Rodgers reveals transfer regret over Ademola Lookman during Leicester reign...

Ex- Leicester star Ademola Lookman wrote himself into history on Wednesday night - but Brendan Rodgers already knew his quality all too well.Having come up through the Charlton academy, it has been a long journey for the 26-year-old to get where he is now including stints aton talkSPORT Breakfast, Rodgers looked back at the 2021/22 season at Leicester when he signed the forward on loan from RB Leipzig but did not land him on a permanent deal.

"He scored some massive goals for me at Leicester, he scored the winning goal in a game against Liverpool at home, it was a brilliant individual goal. While at Leicester, the Nigeria international scored eight times in 42 appearances but the failure to make his loan permanent was partly down to FFP concerns at the King Power Stadium.It contributed to a horrific season for Rodgers, who was sacked midway through the campaign as the Foxes suffered relegation to the Championship.

"We had looked to get him up here at the time but it was so early in the window that by the time the window finished, we couldn't afford him.
