Duo linked with Leicester move

The January transfer window may only be two days old, but Leicester City are already being linked with several potential new signings.

Millwall midfielder Liam Trotter had already been reported to be attracting interest from the Foxes before the January transfer window opened, and that story has returned today.

If Leicester were to prize one of the Lions' key players they would have to pay in excess of £2m. The 23-year-old has played in 23 of Millwall's league games this season and has been a major factor in their success in the Championship.

Another midfielder, Tottenham Hotspur's Iago Falque, is also believed to be a Nigel Pearson target. The former Barcelona and Juventus man has made a handful appearance for Spurs, mostly in the Europa League and Capital One Cup, but the White Hart Lane management want to send him out on loan to get some more game time.

The 22-year-old spent six months at Southampton last season but played only once, coming off the bench in the 2-0 home defeat by Leicester.

One player who doesn't look like he will join Leicester on loan is Manchester United's Nick Powell.

The Crewe Alexandra academy product had been linked with a move to the King Power Stadium but he looks set to be joining Championship rivals Peterborough United, managed by Darren Ferguson and son of Red Devils manager Alex.

It was also reported today that City striker Jamie Vardy may be loaned out during the transfer window. The signing of Chris Wood means Vardy has fell down the pecking order at the King Power Stadium, meaning his first team appearances could prove limited in the second half of the season.

League One sides Tranmere Rovers and Preston North End are believed to be interested in the striker who has scored four goals for the Foxes this season.
