The FA have lifted the transfer embargo they put on Leicester City.

Leicester City have been boosted by the FA's decision to lift the transfer embargo that has been plaguing the club while they have been in administration.

The u-turn from the FA after they said Leicester would stil not be able to trade even if they were out of administration, is a major lift for Mickey Adams and his promotion seeking Foxes side.

From Planet Football - Mickey Adams said "We are now in a position where new players can be signed and that is good news."

"It was frustrating because I am led to believe that, but for a few legal documents to be signed, it is all done and dusted for us to come out of administration."

"I didn't see what the objection was and we had been working behind the scenes to bring in a couple of players, one a midfielder, and a front man." Adams also added
