Leicester City make defender Jannik Vestergaard available for £12m with Dane eager for more game time to secure his World Cup spot

Leicester City have put Jannik Vestergaard up for sale at £12million - with the Danish centre-back keen for more game time to boost his World Cup chances.

Vestergaard, 30, would prefer a loan move having only signed for the Foxes from Southampton on a three-year contract a year ago.

Having been a Premier League regular for three seasons at St Mary's, Vestergaard started just six league games during his first campaign at the King Power Stadium.

That left him restricted to Carabao Cup, Europa League and Europa Conference League appearances in the main, though he was usurped by first choice central defensive pairing Wesley Fofana and Jonny Evans in the latter stages.
