Leicester City is expected to sign a contract with Liverpool’s £15 million young midfielder Jarell Quansah ahead of the winter transfer window.

Leicester City is looking to make additions to their squad in the January transfer window to bolster their chances of getting promoted to the Premier League.
Liverpool youngster Jarell Quansah is being linked with a move to Leicester City in January, but they face competition from Preston North End.
The potential arrival of Quansah could mean that defender Harry Souttar is likely to be further down the pecking order and may leave the club in January

Even a side like Leicester City, who currently sit three points clear at the top of the second division table, will be looking for potential improvements to their first team squad.

The Foxes will be aiming to make additions that will bolster their chances of sealing promotion straight back to the Premier League.

The gap to the chasing pack is now back up to 10 points 17 games into the campaign, but the club will be wary of any dips in form that could allow the likes of Leeds United and Southampton back into the hunt for their top two spot.

This has led to speculation linking the Leicestershire outfit with a move for Liverpool youngster Jarell Quansah ahead of the winter market.

Leicester face competition in the race to sign Quansah, with Preston North End also eyeing a move for the 20-year-old.

The defender has made four Premier League appearances for the Reds so far this season, but the Premier League side could be open to a loan in January in order for him to earn more consistent game time.
