Leicester in advanced talks to sign Luton defender James Justin

Leicester City are in advanced talks to sign Luton Town defender James Justin.

The 21-year-old has had interest from Stoke City and Aston Villa but has indicated he is willing to join Brendan Rodgers who will give him the chance to develop behind Ben Chilwell and Ricardo Pereira, says the Daily Mail.

Leicester did have an interest in Reece James of Chelsea, who suffered a badly sprained ankle playing for England U20s against Chile on Friday, but the Stamford Bridge club are reluctant to sell.

Justin, who was named in the League One Team of the Year, has one year left on his contract with an option and Luton would be looking for around £5million.
