Leicester City will today sign free agent Liam Rosenior in a bid to solve their defensive problems.
The former Fulham right back, 24, has been without a club since his contract at Reading ran out in June.
City manager Paulo Sousa is desperate to shore up a defence that has conceded ten goals in the last two games.
And he believes the former England Under-21 star will add some pace to his backline.
Sousa, who is under pressure following his side's slump to the foot of the Championship, said: 'We need to keep working hard, especially on keeping clean sheets.
'This is not an easy moment, I know that, but I have spoken to the new owners and I think the best way to turn this around is to stick together and be strong.'
