Town target Sean St Ledger appears to be very much back in favour at Leicester having been put on the transfer list after falling out with boss Nigel Pearson at Christmas. St Ledger was close to joining the Blues earlier in the month until the Foxes cancelled the deal with the Irish international required to cover for Sol Bamba, who is away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Pearson has been impressed with his performances in the last two games, the 27-year-old even picking up an assist in Monday’s 2-0 victory at Southampton: "I thought he played very, very well.
"I do nothing but look forward with him. He is one of our players and what has happened has happened.
"He is playing very well. I will have a chat with him. We have been on good terms anyway. It is not as if there has been anything sinister going on."
Town appear to have turned their attentions elsewhere since the St Ledger deal stalled with moves to sign Portsmouth’s Jason Pearce, along with his team-mate Joel Ward, continuing.
