Leicester manager Nigel Pearson had been keen to make signings before the transfer window closes on Monday night.

"It's important that we add a couple more players to our squad to make sure we can operate window to window," he told BBC Radio Leicester.

"It's a possibility that we might have a couple more bodies in before Saturday. It has been a frustrating window for us."

Leicester have yet to win in the Premier League and were knocked out of the League Cup on Tuesday by League Two side Shrewsbury.
