Bilal El Khannouss has left Leicester City after one season at the club.

Leicester have allowed El Khannouss to join Stuttgart on loan with an obligation to buy next summer just days after the Foxes were hoping for £40m for the Morocco international.

El Khannouss informed Leicester of his desire to leave after their relegation to the Championship at the end of last season.

The 21-year-old was one of the standout players for the East Midlands outfit in the top flight and many would’ve expected him to leave with the supporters’ best wishes, however, that’s not the case.
