Hoffenheim defender Pavel Kaderabek is a January target for Leicester City.

The Sun says the Foxes are competing with Juventus for £5 million Czech Republic international Kaderabek.

The right-back has shone since joining Germans Hoffenheim from Sparta Prague in 2015.

Kaderabek, 25, has helped his unfancied club to fifth in the Bundesliga. He set up their goal as they beat Stuttgart 1-0 last night.

And reports in Italy claim Foxes boss Claude Puel has sent spies to check on the 30-cap international.

Serie A champions Juve have also targeted the Prague-born ace as they seek to freshen up their squad.
