Leicester City reportedly hold talks with Luton Town over promising young right-back James Justin.

Leicester City are reportedly in talks with Luton Town over a £12m deal for defender James Justin.

The 21-year-old has already racked up more than 100 appearances for Luton and was an instrumental part of the side that earned promotion to the Championship last season as League One champions.

According to the Daily Mail, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers views Justin, who can play at right-back or left-back, as a talent for the future and could use him as an understudy to Ricardo Pereira.

Newly-promoted Aston Villa have also been monitoring Justin for some time and are believed to have had a bid of £7.5m turned down previously.

Leicester are also said to be in discussions over the permanent capture of Youri Tielemans from Monaco, although the midfielder would likely command a club-record £40m fee.
