Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson sees Tom Lawrence as part of their survival plans.

The former Manchester United forward has made just four appearances for City since joining on transfer deadline day in the summer.

The Daily Mail says the Foxes have rejected approaches from nine clubs for Lawrence on the loan deadline day on Thursday.

Championship sides Bournemouth, Ipswich, Wolves, Blackburn, Charlton, Leeds, Bolton, Rotherham and Wigan all asked about Lawrence's availability.
