Apparently, the contract is only valid until January, so it will be interesting to see if it gets extended, or the 32-year-old winger moves on from Kenilworth Road in the winter.

Technical director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Frederic Massara have signed two-year contracts at Milan, the club confirmed on Friday.
The pair s previous deals had expired on Thursday with the end of the 2021-22 season.
However, Maldini had belatedly confirmed he would be staying at the club following a tough start to the close season.
Although Milan won the Serie A title last term with a team built in part by Maldini and Massara, they have struggled to add reinforcements for the coming campaign.
With the Rossoneri in the midst of a takeover, they could not compete with Newcastle United for highly rated defender Sven Botman.
The centre-back was said to be a primary target for Maldini, while reports have suggested Paris Saint-Germain have …

Only piling more pressure onto a rock-bottom Salernitana, the Blues picked up a 4-2 victory on their travels and they have largely impressed many across Italy since opening the 2021/22 campaign. With Saturday s win pushing them back into the top-half of the table, last season s Serie B champions have managed to find their feet since making the step up in class. However, while Head Coa…
Newcastle United great Alan Shearer feels the only way the St James Park outfit will remain in the Premier League is via relegation rival Hull City failing to beat Manchester United.
A Hull win at home to United would mean Newcastle have to get all three points at home to West Ham on the last day of the season on Sunday, but Shearer feels that Newcastle are not capable of winning.
Shearer, who was in charge when Newcastle were most recently relegated in 2009, said the only way he can see the Tyneside outfit avoiding the drop is via United taking at least a point at Hull.
I can t see them winning the last game how can you? Shearer said on BBC s Match of the Day.
With their form, you can t see them winning anything.
They probably will have to…
Matt O’Riley feels Celtic can make further strides in the Champions League with better game management.
Brendan Rodgers’ side produced a blistering first-half display against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday and deservedly led 2-1 at the interval.
Midfielder O’Riley was at the heart of the action with an excellent exchange of one-touch passes to set up Kyogo Furuhashi’s opener and Celtic attacked with pace and purpose throughout the opening 45 minutes.
