“I was a big fan of him [when he was] playing in the Premier League. I know that he’s had injuries at times. I really do feel that the £9m will be met by someone and that’s the thing you have to look at.
“Clubs that have been promoted, I’m sure he’ll be on the radar of every one of them because of the position he plays, and can play. He can play holding, and he can go and get himself forward,” the 47-year-old said in an interview with Football League World.
“I just feel that Leicester have lost their way [in the] last few seasons, and they haven’t been able to bolster their squad.
“I think the Foxes will be disappointed if they lose him because he’s a strong midfielder that could fit into most top Championship sides and lower-half Premier League sides,” the ex-Sheffield United man concluded.
