Croatian back with Monaco

Monaco have brought Jerko Leko back into their squad after a move to Britain fell through. The Croatia international was strongly linked with both Wolves and Celtic in the summer. His move was very close, but Monaco coach Guy Lacombe explains that the 29-year-old failed to land a work permit to cross the Channel. "He was about to be transferred to England," confirmed Lacombe. "But things could not been sorted out due to work permit trouble. So logically, he is back with us."
