Former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has confirmed an approach from Leicester City in the summer.

Following the sacking of Nigel Pearson, Hiddink was linked with the Foxes before they appointed Claudio Ranieri.

And the Dutchman admits he was sounded out by Leicester about the job.

He told FOX Sports: "I was asked in the summer to join Leicester as coach, but it was too soon after my resignation from the Oranje."

Ranieri has led Leicester to the top of the table this season.
