The Leicester City midfielder has struggled since joining the club last year.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Leicester ace Adrien Silva is in talks with Ligue 1 outfit Bordeaux over a potential loan switch to France.

The 29-year-old joined the Foxes from Sporting Lisbon for around £22 million in the summer of 2017, but because the documents relating to his transfer did not reach FIFA until 14 seconds after the deadline, he had to wait until the following January before making his debut for the east Midlands outfit.

The Portuguese midfielder has struggled to establish himself at the King Power Stadium, however, failing to score in 21 appearances, and registering just there assists.

And now the Daily Mail claims that Silva is nearing an exit from Leicester, with a loan switch to Bordeaux edging ever closer.

Leicester fans will surely not lose too much sleep if the Portugal international leaves the club this month.

Whether he returns to the Foxes after his expected loan switch, however, remains to be seen.
