Deadline Day: Beckford Loan Deal Collapses

Jermaine Beckford's loan move to Huddersfield Town was not completed and the 28-year-old remains a Leicester City player.

The deal for the striker was all-but completed yesterday evening but it has emerged this morning that the Foxes pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute.

Huddersfield were keen to replace outgoing striker Jordan Rhodes and, with former Leeds United manager Simon Grayson in charge, Beckford was a likely target. It was also rumoured yesterday afternoon that Beckford was a target of Bolton Wanderers, though nothing materialised from that move.
