Leicester boss Pearson plans precision moves in market

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson hopes to make precision signings in January.

City are said to have had a bid of around £8m rejected for Rijeka striker Andrej Kramaric.

Pearson is also looking to bring in a central defender and possibly another goalkeeper, with Kasper Schmeichel out of action with a broken metatarsal.

"It would be easy just to say 'yeah, we have loads of targets and will strengthen'," said Pearson to the Leicester Mercury. "But it depends on whether deals are actually do-able.

"The bottom line is that we have got to try to strengthen but not add for the sake of adding.

"It would be beneficial for us to add quality that is going to allow us to be efficient at both ends of the field.

"I think it is important for the players to see one or two new faces, who can hopefully make that difference. We already have strategies in place and have done since the close of the last one."
