Rumours that South Shields born striker Martyn Waghorn is to sign for the Foxes, in a deal worth 2 million pounds.
Waghorn spent last season on loan at the Championship club Leicester City and quickly became a fan favourite after some impressive performances.
Leicester boss Paulo Sousa did make inquires about his availability for this season only for Steve Bruce to turn down any offers of further loan deal. But now Waghorn may be sold to recoup money towards the record signing of Ghana international and World Cup star Asamoah Gyan.
