Leicester City are fighting to keep hold of Hamza Choudhury.

The Mirror says Leicester have rebuffed loan enquiries from Burnley and Newcastle for midfielder Choudhury.

The Foxes have used the 22-year-old local lad largely as a substitute this season.

And that prompted Sean Dyche and Steve Bruce to see if they could take him for the rest of the campaign.

But Brendan Rodgers wants to keep Choudhury (above) at the King Power and the club have refused to sanction a temporary switch to Turf Moor or St James' Park.

Choudhury, who won seven caps for England Under-21s, signed a new three-year deal in August.
