"I had agreed to go to Swansea. The coach at the time called me in March; it all happened very early. The problem was, I had scored 21 goals. I had increased my market value, he said via Walfoot. It wasn't Leuven who handled the transfer; it was Jon Rudkin, Leicester's sporting director The transfer didn't go through. Swansea made two offers, I begged Rudkin to accept, but it didn't happen, Swansea withdrew from negotiations."
"Henry was playing for OH Leuven between 2019 and 2021. The Belgian club is owned by the same group that owns Leicester City. After an impressive season with the Belgian outfit, where he scored 21 goals and picked up seven assists, Swansea wanted to sign him, and they submitted a couple of offers to Leuven as well. However, Rudkin was in charge of negotiations, and he stopped the player from joining the Welsh club."
Thomas Henry agreed to join Swansea after scoring 21 goals for OH Leuven, but the transfer did not materialize. Leicester City sporting director Jon Rudkin, who handled transfers for Leuven, blocked Swansea's offers despite Henry's repeated requests and the Welsh club submitting two bids. Henry believes his increased market value after the strong season led to higher demands and the collapse of negotiations. OH Leuven is owned by the same group that owns Leicester City, and Rudkin has been on Leuven's board since 2017. Henry subsequently joined Venezia in summer 2021.
