Leicester City are chasing Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor.

The Birmingham Mail says the centre-half was pulled out of Blues' training camp in Malta in order to hold talks with the Foxes.

Leicester would like to take the 30-year-old on loan; Blues would prefer an agreement potentially leading to a straight cash deal.

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson is seeking to bolster his backline as Aleksandar Tunchev has been a long-term absentee.
