Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is pulling out of talks for Esteban Cambiasso.
The Telegraph says Pearson was convinced he had finally agreed a deal for Cambiasso, the former Inter Milan midfielder, over the weekend but negotiations have stalled once again.
Cambiasso was believed to be keen on a move to the King Power Stadium, with a two-year contract on the table, but talks have collapsed due to what a source described as "outside influences".
