Leicester City's Shaun Maloney deal collapses

Leicester's Maloney deal collapses

Wigan Athletic have confirmed that Shaun Maloney's proposed move to Leicester City has broken down after the player failed to agree personal terms with the Foxes.

Nigel Pearson's side, who currently sit bottom in the Premier League, had a £1m bid accepted for the 31-year-old earlier this week.

Wigan manager Malky Mackay told BBC Radio 5 live: "He went to talk personal terms, those talks have broken down. Shaun is back as my player again. I have spoken to him this morning personally. I'm delighted I've still got him.

"He is here until the last day of his contract unless something else happens that changes that. There have been another few enquiries and I know that Chicago Fire are a club that are very, very interested in Shaun."

Maloney has made 21 appearances in all competitions for Wigan this season.
