Leicester City offers to seal an immediate return to the Premier League after their gloomy season covered them back to the championship, where Ruud van Nistelrooy cannot stop their slide
Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistorrooy has focused on a movement for ex-Arsenal Wonderkid Sam Greenwood while he wants to secure an immediate return to the Premier League with the Foxes.

The 23-year-old attacker on loan last season with Preston, while he scored seven goals and helped three and Leicester would see him as a good fit for their team in the championship.
The chances of Greenwood will be limited with Leeds after the men of Daniel Farke Promotion to the Premier League have protected, so a move to Leicester can be ideal for continuing his progression.
The report adds that Sunderland – Greenwood's Hometown Club, where he started his career – also likes to be a movement. Manager Regis Le Bris will have to close a number of bargains with the club with limited funds for transfers.
Greenwood joined Arsenal in 2018 – after he had rejected Manchester United in favor of a move to the Emirates – but never a senior performance for the Gunners and two years later at Leeds when Marcelo Bielsa locked him up.
