The Foxes boss wants Justin, 21, to compete with Ricardo Pereira following Danny Simpson’s release.

Hatters head of recruitment Mick Harford said earlier this week that they would only sell if it was beneficial to the club.

"The biggest priority is the football club, not an individual at the football club, not a football player, it is the benefit of the football club.

"If it benefits us to sell James Justin, then James will be sold, but it's a case of someone putting in the right bid."
