Leicester City are in advanced talks with FC Copenhagen for left-back Victor Kristiansen.

The Foxes are seeking to do business for 20m.

Leicester are currently short of options at left-back after James Justin suffered a serious knee injury in November that is set to rule him out for the rest of the season.

Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers has had to cope with a number of injuries at the back, and Leicester have conceded 33 goals in their 19 top-flight matches - only Bournemouth, Southampton and Nottingham Forest have shipped more goals.

Kristiansen broke into the Copenhagen first-team in the latter stages of the 2020-21 season, and has gone on to make 73 appearances for the side.
