Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says they hope to sign FC Copenhagen defender Victor Kristiansen.
Leicester are closing in on the 17m capture of the the Dane.
Kristiansen is a Denmark Under-21 international, who made 15 league appearances before the World Cup break.
Asked about Kristiansen - who mainly operates at left-back - during Thursday's news conference, Rodgers said: "If and when the club confirm the signing, then I'll speak on the player.
"We've been unlucky to lose two full-backs with Achilles problems, so that has left us with just two.
"It leaves you with players having to play almost every game."
