Palmer asked if he could keep Damien until the end of the season, but Bassett has said a month only for now.

Palmer told Stockport's official website:

"Although we wanted the boy to stay until the end of the season we are pleased that he has decided against returning to Leicester.

"He's getting fitter now and I thought he played well at Burnley. He could prove to be a key figure over the next few games."

At the same time, our other City youngster out on loan, Matt Piper, is to also have his loan extended at Mansfield for a month

Stags boss Billy Dearden said to the Mercury :

"Obviously I'm pleased we have got Matthew for another month and I still hope we can get him for the rest of the season.

"I have asked but Leicester are a bit short of players at the moment.

"They don't want to sell Matthew and may be looking for Benjamin to make a permanant move.

"I'm just waiting for the call to say a deal on Benjamin has been done, but it has to be sorted out before the end of the year. They want Matthew to be playing first-team football and he is getting the chance to do that here.

"But, really we have to take it a month at a time and see what happens.

"He is delighted he is staying and we are more than happy about that."

A permanent deal has also been struck between Wolves and City at last for Dean Sturridge. Neither side are disclosing the fee at present. It all depends on him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical now.
