Former-Swansea City right-back Dwight Tiendalli is close to joining Premier League side Leicester City, says talkSPORT.

Tiendalli was released by Swansea on transfer deadline day after he found himself out of Garry Monk’s plans. So now, the Dutchman is a free-agent and Claudio Ranieri has happily taken him in at Leicester for a trial. If the trial goes well, Tiendalli will sign for the Foxes for free.

The 29-year-old signed for Swansea as a free-agent back in September 2012 and played a big part in the Swans’ Capital One Cup winning campaign in his first season in Wales. However, since then he’s had little impact on the squad and has remained the third-choice right-back for a couple of years.

The Dutch international went out on loan to Middlesbrough for a period last season, but he only made two appearances at Riverside.

If he does sign for Leicester though, will he actually play much more than he did in Swansea? The Foxes have Ritchie de Laet playing at right-back for them at the moment, and they could possibly need a bit of depth in the full-back positions especially with de Laet’s injury record.

Whatever happens, we wish Dwight all the best for the future.
