Moreno to make Leicester City switch

Defender to join Portuguese contigent

moreno.jpgAfter looking poised to make a move to Hull City, Vitoria Guimaraes central-defender Moreno is all set to ply his trade with Leicester City instead. 

The 28-year-old stopper was rumored to be moving to the KC Stadium, but now is all set to join The Foxes. The now former Guimaraes man admits that newly appointed manager Paulo Sousa was key to his decision.

"Yes, everything is agreed upon between the two clubs," Moreno told Maisfutebol. "All that remains are the medical exams and then I sign for Leicester City."

"He (Paulo Sousa) has already spoken with me, he has known me for a while. He convinced me to go to England. It was fundamental to speak with him."

Moreno becomes Leicester's third Portuguese signing, after Miguel Vitor joined from Benfica on loan earlier this summer and, of course, manager Paulo Sousa.

I think this is media hype and you have fell hook line & sinker. The guy even says it was Sousa who convinced hime to come to England, so, how on earth was he about to sign for Hull??????
