Leicester City winger Fousseni Diabate is headed to Ligue 1 outfit Amiens on a season-long loan.

A deal was struck for the out-of-favour attacker just before the French transfer deadline closed at 11pm on Monday.

The clubs were awaiting ratification on the deal from the French Football Federation, but the green light has now been given.

Diabate will join Amiens on a season-long loan with no option to buy at this point.

City will also have the option to assess the loan in January and to recall the Mali youth international if he doesn't manage to get regular game time in Ligue 1.

Diabate spent the second half of season on loan with Turkish outfit Sivasspor, scoring twice in 17 league appearances.

He arrived at City from Gazelec Ajaccio in January 2018 for a fee believed to be around £2m.

The 23-year-old has made just 15 league appearances for the Foxes to-date, and may well have been left out of Brendan Rodgers' 25-man Premier League squad.
