Rangers are in talks with Leicester over a loan move for Foxes midfielder Andy King and hope to conclude a deal in the next 48 hours.

The 50-times capped Wales international is heading to Glasgow on Thursday to discuss terms and, all going well, will provide further boost to Steven Gerrard's engine room.

King has seen game time dwindle in recent season and will be allowed to move out on loan by former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

The deadline-day arrival of Belgian international midfielder Dennis Praet has further shunted the 30-year-old down the pecking order at the King Power Stadium.

King played 24 times for Leicester when they won the Premier League three years ago. He has also won the championship and League One with the Foxes, becoming the first player in the Premier League era to win titles in the top three divisions.

He last played for City in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Newport County in January but has a vast amount of experience and is the highest scoring midfielder in the history of the club having scored 62 times in 379 games.

Other than spells on loan at Swansea in 2017-18 and Derby County last season, he has spent his entire career with the Foxes playing in three different levels of the English game.

Rangers boss Gerrard has an abundance of options at his disposal in the middle of the park with Joe Aribo , Scott Arfield, Steven Davis, Ryan Jack and Glen Kamara all vying for a spot.

But with a huge season lying in wait at home and in European competition, Gerrard is determined to bulk up for the challenge.
