Leicester City have made just one signing so far this window.
Woyo Coulibaly is Leicester’s only addition and with just 11 days remaining until deadline day, they really do need to get a move on.
The £10m sale of Tom Cannon should boost funds and it’s understood the club have taken out a loan with Macquarie to boost their transfer kitty.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has made it clear he needs help in the transfer market with his side languishing in 19th place.
And with that said, it’s just come to light that Leicester have made an enquiry about an AC Milan centre-back.
Leicester enquire about Strahinja Pavlovic
According to Italian outlet Gazzetta, Leicester have asked Italian giants AC Milan about centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic.
The Serbian is also attracting interest from Stuttgart this month, so City are facing stiff competition for his signature.
Pavlovic has already snubbed a move to Turkey and is clearly waiting for the perfect opportunity to leave Italy.
Leicester evidently won’t be massively attractive at this stage whilst they reside in the relegation zone, but Premier League football at any level is often tempting for overseas players.
And at Milan, Pavlovic isn’t getting the desired game time following his £15m move from RB Salzburg last summer.
Pavlovic labelled ‘very aggressive’
SempreMilan have described Pavlovic as a ‘very aggressive’ defender in a recent profile report.
“Pavlovic stands tall at 1.94m (6ft4) and is a left-footed centre-back. At Red Bull Salzburg he was employed as the left-sided central defender in a back four by Mathias Jaissle and when moving into possession he shifted into a LCB role covering for the full-back Wober.
“Pavlovic is a very aggressive defender who likes to come off the line and stop attacks.”
Leicester have been in desperate need of a left-footed defender for years, so if they can land Pavlovic’s signature, it’d be a really promising addition to Van Nistelrooy’s ranks.
