Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson says he has a budget for the January market.

City have been linked with a host of names including Tottenham's Kyle Naughton, Hull's Curtis Davies, Bournemouth's Steve Cook, strikers Jermain Defoe, Anderlecht's Aleksandar Mitrovic and Rijeka's Andrej Kramaric, who City are said to have made an £8 million bid for.

"I know that funds will be made available but, as I've said many times before, it is not an easy window to operate in because most clubs want to retain their best players rather than move them on," he said.

"You can have grand ideas of what you might want to bring in but the reality of being able to secure the players you want is never straight forward in any window but certainly not in January."
