Mail links Foxes with Rangers defender

Linked: Ranger's Madjid Bougherra

The Daily Mail has today linked Leicester City with another defender from a Scottish club, leading fans to dub the potential signing 'Sol Bamba Mark II'.

The Mail tips Sven Goran Eriksson for a £1million bid for Rangers striker Madjid Bougherra, a 28-year-old central defender. The French-born Algerian international has hinted that he is ready to leave Ibrox and with just a year left on his contract he would be a bargain signing for the Leicester City manager.

Meanwhile, the Mail have strengthened rumours of Emile Heskey making a return to his boyhood club, quoting a cut-price £500,000 deal for the ex-England man, who made regular appearances for the national side under Eriksson.

The report also mentions a potential bid for Bristol City's £5million-rated Nicky Maynard, whilst speculation is growing that Neil Danns is set to sign for the Foxes after his contract expires at Crystal Palace.
