| On the move: Jermaine Beckford in training |
With Beckford's career at the King Power Stadium making a faltering start - despite claiming the golden boot in last season's FA Cup he failed to excel in the league - there have been many vocal critics of the 28-year-old forward and it seems that Nigel Pearson may have lost patience with Sven Goran Eriksson's £4 million signing.
As reported here at the start of the close-season, Leeds United are most likely to capture their former front man, who scored on 72 occasions for the Elland Road side. Beckford accrued just nine league goals for Leicester in his 39 appearances and, despite a hat-trick in the FA Cup against rivals Nottingham Forest, has failed to find favour with the famously fickle Foxes' fans.
With Jamie Vardy and Marko Futacs both joining City this summer, adding to a bloated forward roster including David Nugent, Martyn Waghorn and Jeffrey Schlupp, it seems that Beckford's first team opportunities may be limited at Leicester in the short term anyway and a move by Pearson to offload a forward in order to strengthen other areas of the squad would not be beyond belief.

You made some really good points there. I looked on
the net to learn more about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this
web site.
I usually do not leave many comments, however i did a few searching and wound
up here "Beckford expected to depart Leicester". And I actually do have a couple of questions for you
if you don't mind. Is it just me or does it seem like some of these comments come across as if they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I'd like to follow everything new you have to post.
Would you list of all of your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
