Leicester City to sign Robert Huth?

Leicester City will finalize a permanent deal for Stoke City defender Robert Huth this week.

The German international spent the second half of last season on loan at the Foxes, where he helped them scrap away from the relegation fight.

Reports claim that Leicester boss Nigel Pearson was impressed with the talented centre-back's performances in the 'great escape' and wants to land his signature on a permanent basis.

Huth is on his final year at the Britannia, and a £2.5m bid could be sufficient for the Foxes to land his services.
