SkySports are reporting that Leicester have made enquiries about Scottish U-21 midfielder Peter Canero.

The player's agent, Raymond Sparkes, has told skysports.com that Leicester have asked Kilmarnock about him.

Killie have offered Canero a three-year contract, which would keep him at Rugby Park until 2007.

"The lure of playing in The Premiership is inevitable, but nothing is decided and Peter's future is in the hands of Kilmarnock as they hold his registration," Sparkes said.

"I expect Peter's future to be resolved by the end of January."

The Old Firm of Celtic and Rangers are understood to be keeping tabs on his situation, while a host of Premiership and Division One clubs are also monitoring his progress.

"Pedro, as he's nicknamed, came through the youth system at Killie after being born in Glasgow and can play in midfield or defence. The Killie official site says:

"One of the most exciting prospects to have come through the Killie Youth ranks in recent years, Peter's strong running and never-say-die attitude has endeared him to the Killie supporter. A versatile player, he seems equally at home in a number of positions on the right side of the team. Has won a number of Scottish U21 caps over the past couple of seasons."
