Schwarzer released

FORMER Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is leaving joint Premier League leader Chelsea to join bottom club Leicester City.

Schwarzer, 42, played 12 times for Chelsea last season as backup to Petr Cech, but has only been an unused substitute four times this season. Schwarzer, who had a brief spell in Germany in the mid-1990s, has been in England since 1996 and played for Bradford City, Middlesbrough and Fulham before moving to Chelsea in 2013. He played 109 times for Australia.

Also, Newcastle has released French forward Hatem Ben Arfa ahead of his move to Nice. Nice said Saturday that it has reached a deal in principle with the 27-year-old Ben Arfa, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Hull.
