Planetfootball are saying that City have been linked with a £1 million swoop for Motherwell starlet James McFadden.

They say that "with key midfielder Muzzy Izzet on the brink of a £6 million switch to Middlesbrough Foxes chief Dave Bassett is looking for a new face in that area with 18-year-old McFadden seemingly fitting the bill".

Apparently the talented teenager has "shone for a struggling Motherwell side this season netting eight times and his performances have not gone unnoticed with a number of Scottish clubs looking at the young Scot."

Eric Black is desperate to keep McFadden at Fir Park but the financial plight of the Lanarkshire club could force them to part with the player who was voted the SPL's young player of the month for January.

Leicester have repeatedly said that they have no money to buy players with though, and are looking for loan deals, so how much truth is there in this story?

Leicester are also thought to be keen on Lorient's Ivory Coast striker Elie Kroupi with a possible loan deal mentioned.
