Nolberto Solano has completed a move to Leicester City. The
35-year-old Peruvian, who has made over 300 appearances in English
football for Newcastle United, Aston Villa and West Ham, has
recently been on trial with the Championship side and trained with
the first-team squad yesterday.
Leicester are currently trying to obtain clearance to allow
Solano to play in the FA Cup at Cardiff this weekend but, if he
does miss out, he is likely to be available to face his former club
Newcastle in the Championship game at the Walkers Stadium on
January 30.
Solano last played a first-team match in England on 11 May,
2008, when he scored for West Ham in a 2-2 draw at Upton Park. He
has since played for Larissa in Greece and Club Universitario de
Deportes in Peru.
