Leicester have rejected an approach from Brentford for goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, Sky Sports News understands.

The Foxes have told the Bees they see the 21-year-old Dane as a prospect for the future and would rather keep him at the club.

He was viewed by Brentford as a potential alternative to David Raya, who remains the first-choice target to replace Daniel Bentley.

Talks with Raya's current club Blackburn remain ongoing, with Rovers holding out for a fee as close to £4m as possible, while Brentford are reluctant to pay over £3m.
