Leicester to return for Southampton star Vestergaard after failed £26 million move

Leicester City are to make a renewed approach for Southampton centre-back Jannik Vestergaard, Goal can confirm.

The 27-year-old has been with Saints since the summer of 2018, when he arrived after a seven-year spell in the Bundesliga, where he played with Hoffenheim, Werder Bremen and most recently Borussia Monchengladbach.

He caught the eye of the Foxes during the January transfer window, but having come close to a move, the deal was unable to get over the finishing line as manager Ralph Hasenhuttl vetoed the switch.
