FULHAM want Leicester’s Danish centre-half Jannik Vestergaard to bolster their defence.
Marco Silva is looking for more power and presence at the back — and 6ft 4in Vestergaard is available as Brendan Rodgers looks to shake up his Foxes squad.
Fulham want Leicester defender Jannik Vestergaard
Fulham fancy a loan deal but Leicester will be looking for up to £12million for the former Southampton defender, 29.
Silva has also looked at West Ham’s Issa Diop, 25, but Vestergaard may yet be the answer.
The Denmark international came to our shores in 2018, when he signed for the Saints in 2018 in a £22million deal from Borussia Monchengladbach.
He soon became a fans’ favourite – appearing 79 times across three seasons for the South Coast club.
Last summer, Southampton accepted a £16million deal from the Foxes and Vestergaard signed on a three-year deal.
However, he has struggled to settle at the King Power Stadium and hasn’t had as much game time as he would have liked.
He made just 10 Premier League appearances in a disappointing campaign for Brendan Rodgers‘ men, who finished eighth in the top flight.
Internationally, though, his career has hit bigger heights.

He was famously part of the Danish team that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2020.
Leicester may be reluctant to sell – with reports suggesting fellow centre back Wesley Fofana is a target for Chelsea.
