Leicester are monitoring Bacary Sagna's situation as boss Craig Shakespeare looks to bolster his team's defence.

Sagna is without a club following his release from Manchester City in the summer.

Shakespeare has admitted that the 34-year-old full back has been on the club's radar before but a move to sign him wasn't imminent.
