Leicester defender Liam Moore is contemplating handing in a transfer request, according to Sky sources, after not being allowed to leave the Premier League champions this summer.

The 23-year-old centre-back has 12 months left on his contract and has turned down the offer of a new deal with the Foxes.

He has not been given a squad number or even a first team locker in the dressing room ahead of the 2016/17 Premier League season.

Sky sources understand Sky Bet Championship side Reading, who have had two offers for Moore already rejected by Leicester, have tabled a third bid.

Moore had spells on loan at Brentford and Bristol City last season and did not make an appearance for Leicester in their Premier League title-winning campaign.
