Danny Simpson "surprised" QPR opted to sell him to Leicester City

By , Staff Reporter
Danny Simpson admits that he was 'shocked' by Harry Redknapp's decision to sell him to Leicester City from Queens Park Rangers.

Danny Simpson has expressed his "shock" that Queens Park Rangers chose to sell him to Leicester City last week.

The 27-year-old penned a three-year deal at the King Power Stadium just one year after moving to QPR from Newcastle United.

"I was quite surprised when Harry Redknapp pulled me into his office, said Leicester had made an enquiry, how do I feel and that he was happy to let me go," Simpson told talkSPORT.

"I had enjoyed a good pre-season and was ready to hit the ground running in the Premier League, so it was a little bit of a shock after the year I'd had."

Simpson could make his Leicester debut away at the Britannia against Stoke City on September 13.
