Sky Sports understands Leicester City's Tom Lawrence is a loan target for a number of Championship clubs in January.

Highly-rated forward Lawrence joined Leicester on a four-year deal from Manchester United on transfer deadline day.

The 20-year-old has yet to make his first-team debut for Leicester, but has impressed for the Under 21s and is seen as one for the future at the King Power Stadium.

Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is happy to let Lawrence go out on loan, feeling he would be served by going out and playing regular first-team football in the second half of the season.
