Carl Ikeme extends Leicester loan

Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme was today handed another chance to impress Leicester boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Ikeme’s two-month loan at the Championship club ended this week without Eriksson having the opportunity to watch him at close quarters.

But Eriksson today confirmed that Ikeme will spend another month at the Walkers Stadium.

He said: “It’s the right thing to do for both parties. I’ve not seen him play, so I don’t know how good he is.”

The 24-year-old was originally signed on a 28-day emergency loan by former manager Paulo Sousa, when first-choice goalkeeper Chris Weale suffered a shoulder injury.
