Leicester bid for Maguire

According to reports coming out of England, Hull City central defender Harry Maguire could be set to move to Leicester City. Despite the 'Tigers' originally demanding £20 million, 'The Daily Mail' believes that they are now prepared to accept a lesser offer for his services. 

With only a year left on his contract and following a stellar campaign with Hull, Maguire is not short of suitors, Newcastle, Everton and Spurs have all been linked with a bid for the former Sheffield United man, though his desire to play regular football may rule out certain clubs.

Leicester would certainly seem like a good fit for the strapping stopper, with their first-choice centre-half partnership of Robert Huth and captain Wes Morgan boasting a combined age of 65 and Yohan Benalouane's performances often flattering to deceive, the former Premier League champions are certainly in the market for a defender. Any move would presumably give new Hull manager Leonid Slutsky quite the transfer war chest, with the Russian said to be considering a move for Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas as a potential replacement for Maguire.

The same source states that there has been further interest in Hull's 2 left-backs, Andrew Robertson and the highly-rated Josh Tymon, with the latter attracting the interest of Stoke City.
