Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric admits the club's ambitious attempt to sign Dutch veteran Edgar Davids is hanging in the balance.

Mandaric is "a bit concerned" the player's representatives have so far failed to respond to City's offer for the former Holland international midfielder, who is a free agent having left Ajax in June 2008.

Mandaric has given Davids until the end of this week to decide if he wants to move to resurrect his career at the Walkers Stadium.

"It is still touch and go and it is in his hands," Mandaric told the Leicester Mercury.

"I am a bit concerned the offer has been sitting there for four or five days and that Davids is not being prompt in making a decision.

"But we won't let this drag on past the next couple of days."
