Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury is being considered for a late loan deal by Watford and Newcastle United.
The England Under-21 international has impressed with his versatility, playing in an unfamiliar centre-back role after being called upon during a defensive injury crisis.
Manager Brendan Rodgers labelled Choudhury's performance against Watford earlier this month as 'sensational', even comparing the 24-year-old to former Liverpool and Argentina international Javier Mascherano, who started as a defensive midfielder but ended up playing at centre-back with Barcelona.
