Leicester City are reportedly showing an interest in signing Southampton defender Jannik Vestergaard this month.

The Foxes are preparing to make a £15m bid for the Saints defender before the end of this month’s transfer window, according to a report in The Sun.

The report adds that Southampton may consider selling the Denmark defender this month, after their recent run of results has steered them clear of the relegation zone.

Leicester are in the market for a central defender this month, as Brendan Rodgers looks to add reinforcements to his backline.

Caglar Soyuncu and Jonny Evans are the club's starting centre-backs, with the Turkish international stepping up following Harry Maguire's departure for Manchester United last summer.

Filip Benkovic , who impressed at Celtic under Rodgers last season until the latter's move to the East Midlands in February, isn't progressing as quickly as hoped and has been linked with a loan switch to Championship side Derby County.

Vestergaard joins a host of centre-backs to be linked with a move to the Filbert Way, along with Juventus’ Merih Demiral, Burnley’s James Tarkowski, Brighton’s Lewis Dunk and Celtic’s Kristoffer Ajer.

However, Demiral recently suffered a serious knee injury last week ruling him out for the season , and ending any chance of a move to the Foxes.
