Report: Leicester City to swoop for Robert Huth

Leicester City are lining up a £2.5m bid for defender Robert Huth, according to reports.

The Stoke City man impressed during a six-month loan at the King Power Stadium by helping the Foxes win their relegation battle in the Premier League.

The 30-year-old, who played 14 games of Leicester's 'great escape', has one year to run on his existing deal at the Britannia, and Nigel Pearson is keen to tie up a permanent deal, according to The Mirror.

The German centre-back joined Stoke for £5m from Middlesbrough in 2009.
