Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers to make first Foxes signing as he signs £10m James Justin from Luton

BRENDAN RODGERS will make his first Leicester City signing when James Justin completes a medical today.

Rodgers won the race to sign right-back Justin from Luton Town for £10million after rivals Aston Villa and Crystal Palace concentrated on other deals.

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.”

Another Leicester youngster, Alex Pascanu, is interesting a QUARTER of the Premier League after his Euro Under-21 displays.

The centre-back, 20, who helped Romania see off England on their way to the semi-finals, had FIVE top-flight clubs asking about him in this window.

Leicester triggered their option on his contract but he still has only a year left on his deal.
