MICAH Hyde is unlikely to be joining Leicester City this summer.

Speculation had linked the transfer-listed Burnley midfielder with a move to the Walkers Stadium.

And Foxes manager Rob Kelly would not comment on the connection at a press conference yesterday.

But sources close to the club have indicated that the 31-year-old former Watford player is not now on the club's wanted list.

A transfer for Hyde is expected to incur a fee as he still has one year remaining on his contract and Leicester have got little at their disposal for summer dealings.

Defender Gareth McAuley became their first summer signing yesterday after the Northern Ireland international's contract expired at Lincoln City.
