Things are slowly but surely starting to heat up on the transfer front for Leicester City.
After a quiet opening two weeks of the window, deals are starting to fall into place with Copenhagen left-back Victor Kristiansen expected to be the clubs first January arrival. The Foxes have also been chasing a big money move for Fiorentina winger Nico Gonzalez, though reports are indicating that a deal is off for now.
The latest name to be linked with a move to the King Power Stadium is Stoke City defender Harry Souttar. Souttar enjoyed a stellar World Cup campaign at the heart of Australias defence and has since established himself as a key member of Stokes backline after recovering from a serious knee injury.

With that in mind, here is the latest on the clubs potential move for the 24-year-old.
Stoke break silence on Leicester interest
Stoke City boss Alex Neil has addressed reports linking Harry Souttar with a transfer to Leicester City in the January window.
The centre-back has reportedly been the subject of two approaches from the Foxes as Brendan Rodgers bids to strengthen his leaky defence for the second half of the campaign. City are understood to have put in a 10million bid for him, which was rejected.
Determined to sign their man,Cityhave stepped up their interest, according to Daily Mail Australia on Friday, indicating a second offer has been made for the 24-year-old. Neil, however, stressed that the Australian international is a Potters player for the foreseeable future, although he admitted the decision to keep or sell the player is not entirely in his own hands.
As far as Harry Souttar goes, Harry Souttar is a Stoke player and for the foreseeable future he will continue to be a Stoke player but in that regard that wont solely be my decision because when it comes to the finances of the club, albeit Im the manager, that will be dealt with by the club as much as Ill have an input. We just need to wait and see how that pans out between now and the end of the window, he told theStoke Sentinelin his weekly press conference.
Souttar has no interest in speculation
Leicester City transfer target Harry Souttar has no interest in speculation surrounding his future as the Foxes attempt to buy him from Stoke City this January.
That is according to Potters boss Alex Neil, who addressed reports linking the centre-back with a move toCityin his weekly pre-match press conference. He told media on Friday that Souttar is only interested in a potential move when something concrete emerges from discussions between Stoke and clubs interested in signing him.
Neils comments suggest the player is not pushing his way out of the door in a bid to get a move to the Premier League. Leicester have reportedly had an offer of 10million turned down, but willpress aheadto get a deal done this month.
Leicester City have reportedly submitted a 10 million transfer bid to buy Stoke City defender Harry Souttar.
The towering centre-back is said to be one of the Foxes main transfer targets in the January window after putting in a series of impressive performances for Australia in the World Cup last month.
With City now on the verge of completing a deal for FC Copenhagen player Victor Kristiansen, attentions reportedly turn to Souttar. Stoke, however, have turned down their offer, according to Sky Sport Italia reporterGianluca Di Marzio.
Di Marzio claims that talks will keep going on asCitystrive to improve their leaky defence. Only three teams have conceded more than their 33 goals in the Premier League this season.
Leicester leading the race
Leicester City are reportedly leading the race to sign Stoke City defender Harry Souttar.
ManagerBrendan Rodgersis eyeing a centre-back as one of three priorities this January, and Souttar could be the man to fit the bill. He was a standout for Australia at the World Cup this winter and has been a rock at the back for Championship side Stoke.
According to our colleagues at theDaily Record, City have been scouting the Scotland-born centre-back, formerly of Dundee United, ahead of a potential January transfer. They say Leicester manager Rodgers has had Souttar watched in each of his last three games for the Potters.
Souttar would be a sensible and astute acquisition for Leicester this month. Centre-back is one of the priority positions Rodgers wants filled, and his 66 stature ticks the physicality box on Rodgers wish list.
