Leicester are set to rival Wolves for the signature of Reading defender Matt Mills, skysports.com understands.

The ambitious Foxes hope to earn promotion to the Premier League next season and have already recruited Kasper Schmeichel from Leeds, Neil Danns from Crystal Palace and Lee Peltier from Huddersfield Town.
Tsepo Masilela will also complete a loan move to the Walkers Stadium once he receives clearance for a work permit, but boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has not yet finished his summer signings.

Mills is also understood to be on the former England manager's list of targets and Leicester could approach Championship rivals Reading, who suffered defeat in the play-off final last season.

The Royals have already rejected two bids from Premier League Wolves and are understood to value the centre-back at £4million.

It is unlikely that they will sell for anything less than that fee and Wolves chairman Jez Moxey has hinted that his club could look elsewhere.

Leicester may take advantage, but skysports.com also reported last week that Reading hoped to convince Mills to sign a new contract.

Beat me to it. Good player.

His middle name is Claude, that's good enough reason to sign him I reckon.

 

[homer]

He's an excellent player IMO - exactly the sort we should be signingAll of which probably means it's a load of bollocks......

You say that now, but when he signs you'll be saying he's a crappo :icon_lol:

£4 million quid? I think he's a very good player but I'm not convinced he's worth that kind of outlay... Good to see that we're aiming for quality players though.

 

[Micky]

From what I have seen, he looks a quality player. The only centre back who I rate higher from last seasons championship is Ashley Williams.

Would be delighted if we got him. Just what we need.

I couldn't give a toss what he costs. Beats me why people go on about the money - he is the quality of player we need, and it's not me footing the bill

And compared to a perennial duffer like St. Ledger, he would be worth every penny

With a name like that he should be playing rugby union surely

 

[DillyDing22]

Scored against us late on I think... Haven't liked him since

 

[Graz]

Quality player, and is looking to move from what I've heard. Get him in.

Would be delighted with that.

 

[Hazzman]

Exactly what I think. Surprised no Prem club has took the gamble sooner considering the relative success of Dann and Johnson.

Trappatoni and I would disagree.

 

[drummindefender]

Considering Wolves have made two bids it seems they will not give up on him lightly.

 

[Kingy_85]

He's not worth more than 4mill and they rejected that sooooo... would love to see him but not for that much.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Absolutely fantastic player, especially at Championship level. Would love to see him here.

 

[fahey]

he would be alright just cost too much sol cambells a freebie lol

 

[Scodger Cubs]

We've got millionaires..money is not problem!
