Leicester's Ayoze Perez close to sealing loan move to Real Betis with Brendan Rodgers' side looking to bring in a wide forward before the closure of the transfer window

Ayoze Perez is closing in on a loan move to Real Betis as Leicester step up their attempts to bring in a new wide forward.

The Spanish winger is out of contract in the summer and can leave Leicester in this window as the Premier League strugglers look to refresh their squad for the survival battle.

Sportsmail understands the deal is likely to be an initial loan until the end of the season, taking Perez to the end of his contract. He would then be free to sign permanently for Betis – or any other club.
