Leicester City are keen on signing the AC Milan midfielder Strahinja Pavlovic.

According to a report from Calciomercato via FoxesofLeicster, officials from the English club are in Milan to push through a move for the 23-year-old defender.

The report states that Leicester should be able to sign the player for a fee of around £21 million.

Leicester City have already signed Woyo Coulibaly this month and it seems that Pavlovic could be their second January signing.

Leicester need to improve their squad in order to do well during the second half of the season and Pavlovic could prove to be a useful acquisition. The towering defender has the physicality to do well in the Premier League and he could help the Foxes tighten up defensively.

The Foxes will be hoping to secure safety in the Premier League and they need to improve during the second half of the season. Signing the right players this month will certainly help them improve

It will be interesting to see if Leicester can get a deal for Pavlovic across the line.

Can Leicester convince the defender to join them?

The AC Milan defender might be keen on joining a bigger club. He will not want to compete in the Championship next season and it will be interesting to see if the Foxes can convince him of their ambitions and give him assurances regarding their place in the Premier League next season.

If Leicester end up paying £21 million for him, they will be expecting a game-changer who can make an instant impact. It will be interesting to see if Pavlovic can settle in quickly and transform Leicester at the back.
