Leicester line up former City midfielder

 

Leicester City have made a £2m offer for AC Milan midfielder Nigel De Jong, according to Daily Mirror.

 

De Jong, 31, has been allowed to leave the Serie A giants this month and Leicester are looking to bring in another experienced midfielder with Gokhan Inler widely expected to leave in search of first-team football.

 

As part of the proposed offer, Leicester will also have to pay Milan an extra £1m if they manage to secure Champions League football for next season.

 

The ex-Netherlands international spent three years in the Premier League with Manchester City before moving to Milan in 2012, where he has found game time hard to come by.
