Leicester City boss wants permanent deal for Robert Huth

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has revealed of his desire to sign on-loan defender Robert Huth on a permanent deal this summer.

The former Germany international joined the Foxes on a six-month loan deal from Stoke City last winter, having fallen out-of-favour under Mark Hughes.

Since then, the talented centre-back has played a huge part in the Foxes' fight for survival, which has seen them win six of their last seven league games.

Pearson has now suggested the club will make a summer offer to sign up the German defender.
