Levein lines up mystery duo

[Steven]

Leicester manager Craig Levein has revealed he is hopeful of bringing in two more players by the end of next week.

The Foxes missed out on the signing of Bury striker Colin Kazim-Richards as he opted to sign for Brighton, and are still looking to strengthen their squad despite securing the services of Patrick Kisnorbo, Paul Henderson, Rab Douglas and Momo Sylla.

The Scottish tactician is still keen to bolster his backline after Leicester struggled somewhat last term, and, after missing out on Celtic new boy Mo Camara, Levein revealed he has two potential deals in the pipeline - with both players as yet unnamed.

After losing Jordan Stewart to Championship rivals Watford the Leicester boss is keen to keep up his efforts and sustain the recruitment drive as he reshapes his squad in time for the pre-season campaign.

"There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes and, by the end of next week, there could be one or two more out and one or two in," Levein told the Leicester Mercury.

"I would imagine by then that things will have settled down a bit.

"The plan was for everything to be in place for the start of pre-season but plans do not always work out, although I am getting there.

"I have two possibilities for the centre back position and hopefully they will work out in our favour.

"I am 75 percent confident in both of them but until they have actually signed on the dotted line anything can happen.

"Obviously with Jordan Stewart's move the left side now becomes a priority."

LEICESTER boss Craig Levein is signing defender Nils-Eric Johansson on a free transfer from Blackburn.

Levein beat a couple of Championship rivals to land the Sweden centre-back, who was a regular in the Rovers team until released at the end of last season.

Johansson wanted to stay in England and will sign a three-year deal with the Foxes this week.

The Mirror seems to think its a done deal too.

Wilkinson Lane becomes Station Road as it enters Shilton...then there's Breach Lane(all the stables are down there so bound to be nice houses) and the area around there which borders onto Elmsthorpe. pity about the rest of the village! lol
