Brendan Rodgers admits Leicester have a 50-50 chance of bringing in deadline day recruits as he mulls over moves for Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Nathaniel Chalobah

Brendan Rodgers believes he has a 50-50 chance of improving his Leicester squad with new additions on deadline day.

Watford's Nathaniel Chalobah has emerged as a potential midfield addition with Arsenal reluctant to lend Ainsley Maitland-Niles to their rivals and a deal failing to materialise after talks over Rostov's Mathias Normann.

Rodgers said: 'There has been dialogue. The moves will be reliant on other teams' movement. At the moment if you were putting a percentage on it I would say 50-50 but we will see how the day goes.
