Leicester's new signing Marko Futacs has revealed he rejected a cluster of Championship clubs to sign for the play-off hopefuls.

The 22-year-old joined the Foxes as a free agent from Portsmouth after he declined their offer of a new deal.

Futcas scored his first Championship goal against Leicester so they are well versed in the strengths of the 6ft 5in striker.

"I was linked with several clubs during the summer," he told the Leicester Mercury.

"Barnsley, Watford and Crystal Palace showed their interest, but finally I decided to choose Leicester City.

"I agreed with my agent that he would look for an English club for me because British football fits my playing style best. This is the best place where I can show the best of my qualities."
