Leicester City are seeking a new central defender for the January transfer window.

The Foxes could use some of the money generated from the sale of England international Harry Maguire to Manchester United over the summer.

The Telegraph says Leicester are expected to reignite their interest in Bournemouth's Nathan Ake and Burnley's James Tarkowski in the new year.

City made a late run for Tarkowski in the summer window but could not convince Burnley to sell their star defender.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is apparently keen to bring in more cover at centre-half to add competition for places, along with Wes Morgan.
