Gradel extends his contract with Leicester

Max Gradel has signed a one-year contract extension to the contract that he already had in place with Leicester.

The winger, who had a very successful loan with Bournemouth last season, is part of Nigel Pearson's first-team this season and has started both matches so far. Gradel only signed a new three-year contract at the end of last season, but has now added another year to this so he will be staying at the Walkers Stadium until 2012.

Pearson, much like City fans, has high hopes for Gradel, now 20, but he isn't getting carried away and isn't expecting too much, or putting too much pressure on him.
