The attacker and goalkeeper were announced as City's first two arrivals on Thursday after leaving Ipswich Town and Southampton. They joined in the same week that Victor Kristiansen, Harry Winks, Jannik Vestergaard and Silko Thomas all departed. LeicestershireLive reported after the win in Burton-on-Trent that a deal to bring Danny Ings to the King Power Stadium is now off. The striker was reportedly set to sign a one-year contract following his release from Sheffield United. City continued their fine pre-season record at Burton Albion on Saturday with a 3-0 win. Kirsten Otchere, Will Alves and Nathan Opoku all scored their second goals of the summer in a dominant display by the Foxes. FOLLOW ON FACEBOOK!
