Leicester City are moving for Southampton defender Jannik Vestergaard.

The Sun says Leicester are making a £15million move for Vestergaard this month, with the Foxes looking to bolster their defensive options.

The 27-year-old has been a key player in the Southampton side since arriving from Borussia Mönchengladbach and his performances have caught the eye of Leicester, who have made a £15million bid for the Dane.

Despite putting nine goals past Vestergaard and his team-mates during the 9-0 rout at St Mary's Stadium earlier this season, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on bringing the Saints player to the King Power Stadium.

The report also suggests that Southampton may be open to selling the defender this January transfer window, as the club's top flight safety is all but assured after their impressive 2-0 win away to Crystal Palace on Tuesday.
