The 23-year-old was the Magpies’ best chance of a deadline day signing, however an agreement could not be reached.
That is despite, according to Sky Sports, The Foxes offering compromises in terms of Choudhury’s wages.

Hide AdChoudhury was keen on a loan move to St James’s Park having been chased by Steve Bruce in January.
Instead, United end the transfer window with just one senior signing after Joe Willock arrived for £25million from Arsenal.
Speaking last week, United’s head coach said: “We’re in this situation where, yes, we haven’t got a lot of money. There’s no money to be had.
"However, is there a loan deal like Joe Willock? Look how well he did for us. We’ve had one or two who’ve done extremely well. That’s the market we’re looking at.”
Meanwhile, Mexican forward Santiago Munoz will team up the under-23s set up after joining on loan from Santos Laguna.
