Leicester City line-up move for Leeds defender

Leicester City are lining up a move for Leeds defender Sam Byram in the summer.

The Foxes have confirmed their promotion to the Premier League, and chief scout Steve Walsh has already confirmed the club are drawing up potential transfer targets to bolster their squad.

Byram is highly-rated at Leeds and the 20-year-old defender has been subject to interest from an array of clubs in the past, most notably Premier League side Southampton.

Byram is a target for newly-promoted side Leicester City

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson is known for his policy of not signing ‘big names’ so Sam Byram fits the bill in that respect.

The Foxes are also rumoured to be interested in Byram’s teammate Ross McCormack as well, and they could make a move for the 27-year-old Championship top-scorer also.
