Leicester City will move for former Nottingham Forest left-back Harry Toffolo if Victor Kristiansen leaves this window, according to reports.
Toffolo is a free agent after leaving the City Ground this summer but the Sun say he may not have to move far for his next club with Leicester eyeing the 29-year-old.
It’s reported that a swoop will only come if Kristiansen departs. The Dane, who limped out of Saturday’s pre-season friendly win over OH Leuven, joined Italian side Bologna on loan the last time City were relegated.
City also have Luke Thomas at left-back, and the academy graduate finished last term as the first-choice option in the role.
They also have three right-backs in James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, and Woyo Coulibaly who can all operate on the other flank.
Plus, promising youngster Bade Aluko is coming up through the ranks and can play on either side of the defence, albeit he has featured as a centre-back in pre-season so far.
But Toffolo would offer City an out-and-out left-back, and someone with plenty of experience.
Making his name during an excellent two-and-a-half seasons in the Championship with Huddersfield, Toffolo moved to Forest after they defeated the Terriers in the play-off final in 2022.
In their first two seasons in the Premier League, he featured fairly regularly, but last season saw his game-time diminish, with Neco Williams and Alex Moreno both ahead of him in the pecking order.
He did start the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, but that was one of just seven appearances he made in all competitions.
Since being let go at the end of his contract, Toffolo has been linked to Rangers and Norwich, with the 29-year-old having begun his career with the Canaries.
