Sebastian Coates is a summer target for Leicester City.

Reports suggest that the Liverpool defender has emerged on the radar of Nigel Pearson who is keen to strengthen his Foxes defence.

24-year old Uruguayan centre-back Coates spent last season on loan with Sunderland and could be offloaded by the Reds after making just 10 appearances for the Black Cats.

Leicester are also after Stoke City's Robert Huth who starred while on loan during the Foxes' great escape in the second half of the season.
