Championship side Leicester City are hoping to snap up Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles on transfer deadline day, with the permission now given for a medical, according to journalist Mark McAdam.

The Foxes have recently parted ways with boss Marti Cifuentes and are struggling to live up to pre-season promotion expectations.

They are keen to do business before the transfer window slams shut and adding a defender is on the agenda at the King Power.
