Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson confirms Esteban Cambiasso interest

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has confirmed that he is interested in signing former Inter Milan midfielder Esteban Cambiasso.

The 33-year-old, who has been capped 52 times by Argentina, is currently a free agent after leaving Inter at the end of last season.

When asked if there was any truth in reports linking Cambiasso with the Foxes, Pearson told Radio Leicester: "I am not going to say no, because we have [been interested].

"But what's disappointing is that some clown somewhere down the line has leaked information that is sensitive."

Leicester mark their return to the Premier League for the first time in 10 years on Saturday when they play host to Everton.
