Nigel Pearson hopeful of early summer business for Leicester City

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson is hopeful of making signings early on this summer after securing their Premier League status.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has claimed that the club will look to move early when the transfer window opens this summer.

The Foxes, who host Queens Park Rangers in their final match tomorrow afternoon, secured their Premier League status after winning six of their last eight games.

Pearson admitted that their survival has helped advance transfer talk, and ESPN reports that the Leicester boss is eager to begin preparations for next season early.

He said: "We are as far on as we can be at this moment. It is an ongoing process. You can move a bit quicker when you know what division you are playing in.

"It is a busy time but you need time to recharge. We always try to get our preparation as thorough as possible but it is only right to take time out from the day-to-day routine and pressures."

The Midlands club have been linked with Mainz 05 striker Shinji Okazaki.
