Leicester City want to bring Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey back to the club.
The People says Foxes boss Sven Goran Eriksson has ex-England star Heskey in his sights.
He has agreed a £600,000 fee with Aston Villa but is struggling to match the 33-year-old striker's current wages.
Heskey has a year of his lucrative Villa contract still to run but Eriksson still hopes to persuade him back to the club.
The Swedish manager has always been a huge fan of the big hitman and sees him as a key signing in his clubs promotion push.
