Reebok boss Coyle set to land Foxes defender

Sky Sports understands Bolton have agreed a deal with Leicester to sign defender Matt Mills. Bolton have made Mills one of their top targets this summer as they look to mount a bid for promotion back to the Premier League. Mills' future at Leicester has been the subject of speculation for some time after losing his place in the side under Nigel Pearson at the back end of last season. Celtic have shown an interest in bringing him to Scotland, but Bolton are in pole position to land the former Reading player. Bolton are thought to have agreed a fee in the region of £2million with Leicester, with the defender expected to tie up his move in the next few days.
