Leicester manager ‘almost certain’ Matty Fryatt to leave for Hull

Ex-Saddler News Leicester City striker Matty Fryatt is close to to finalising his £1.5million move to Hull City.

His manager Sven Goran Eriksson said: “It is almost certain he will go when the window opens” yesterday.

Eriksson added:

“When we spoke one-and-a-half months ago, he said he wanted to stay and fight for his place. But the situation is different now because clubs want to buy him.

“Like most young players, he wants to play games and I understand that. It is sad he cannot have more minutes on the pitch for us. He is a good player but I feel that I have better options.”

The move has been long drawn out since Fryatt’s former manager Nigel Pearson made the move to Hull in June.

Eriksson had previously said Fryatt would get his chance at the Walkers Stadium but Fryatt has not started for the Foxes since October and his substitute appearances have been minimal.

Once the transfer window re-opens on January 1st, Fryatt will link up at Hull with another former Saddler Anthony Gerrard who is at the club on a season long loan from Cardiff City.
