Lets not get carried away here!!Leicester did not let him go for no reason and chris is giving him another chance to prove himself!!!He can be a bit of a people pleaser amd made a lot of incorrect decisions last evening!!!!!lets wait and see what he provides next season??
Just for the record Leicester offered him a new 4 year contract but he chose to leave.

Silly old bat
I think Gi2raffe1 is Jimbob5 returned.
I didn't know that. Do you know why he left? No other PL club came in for him when he was a free agent though

Knockaert said he rejected the chance to continue at Leicester because he felt he was poorly treated upon the club's return to the top flight, having played such a crucial role in their promotion to the Premier League.
"I loved it there but I didn't deserve to be treated how I was last season in terms of playing games," Knockaert said.
"I thought I deserved better. That is why I wanted to leave.
"I had a very good relationship with the manager but it was hard last season. I think I was better than what I had.
"What I showed in Championship the year before should have meant more games to me last year.
"I thought I had the quality to play. But he [Pearson] didn't give me three games or four games [in a row] to show what I can show. Sometimes 15 minutes in a game, sometimes 10 minutes. But this is football."

No way Knocky would go there for a relegation season
Fair enough. But I can't see too many clubs coming in for a player who thinks he should be a regular choice. He's quite right wanting that (and he's probably good enough) but not many sides would make him an automatic selection.
That probably explains why he didn't find another PL club when his contract was up. He either rejected any club that wouldn't guarantee him game time or clubs weren't prepared to offer that.
Whether he's a target or not this summer will, I guess, depend whether he's changed his attitude or whether a club is more accommodating

I expect someone like West Ham and Spurs to go for him instead of hoofball Clarets
