Pearson says Leicester must buy Premier League experience

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson will be shopping for Premier League experience in January.

A 2-1 Boxing Day defeat to Tottenham was harsh but they go to Hull on Sunday with Pearson plotting for the January transfer window.

He said: "I recognise we need to try and strengthen in certain areas. The players we already have here will probably benefit from additions to get the best out of here.

"The one thing we don't have in abundance is Premier League experience and know how. You can have an opinion of games just by team sheets. We need to supplement what we have - ability, commitment and desire.

"We're just missing an ingredient to win points - sticking it in or keeping it out. What we have to do in the mean time is keep going. Results like Spurs test the mental resolve of everyone.'
