Eriksson quells King speculation

Sven-Goran Eriksson has played down reports linking midfielder Andy King with a move away from Leicester.

Stories over the weekend speculated that the Wales international - the Foxes' leading scorer this season with 15 goals - was set for a summer switch to Everton.

Eriksson told the Leicester Mercury: "I have read about Andy King in the newspapers but I guarantee that I have heard nothing of this. The club has not been contacted because I would have known that as well. Andy's agent has not spoken to me either."
