Leicester Mercury says:

Sven-Goran Eriksson says he will hold talks with defender Michael Ball about a contract with Leicester City. The manager has also hinted he will offer Aleksandar Tunchev a new deal.

Ball has hardly played for two years because of injuries and has been trying to impress Eriksson during pre-season in Sweden and Austria – and he appears to have won over the City boss. Although Tunchev has not played in the last two friendlies, against Bursaspor and Valencia, he may have also convinced Eriksson that he also still has a future at the club after his two years of injuries. The Bulgarian is out of contract at the end of the month, but Eriksson said he would open negotiations with Tunchev.

"We will probably start talking to Ball and Tunchev the week after next," said Eriksson.

"Ball came on (against Valencia) and I think he did very well at left-back. He organised the team, he talks and is one of those guys who is very important in the dressing room. He is very professional and he is also very positive in his attitude.

"I think so with Tunchev, too. I think we will offer him a contract, but wait a week and we will see."

Pleased for Tunch if he gets a new deal. Must be a huge relief to him, and he must've worked so hard to get there after all his injury problems. Hopefully it pays off for us.

I think Ball will be a good signing too.

Based on the fact he is appearing in the team photo (back row) I think it's pretty certain he will be staying.

Tunch that is
