HULL CITY: Foxes' Zayatte loan could open door for Ayala
HULL City defender Kamil Zayatte will be a transfer target for Leicester City when the loan window reopens next week.
Having failed to secure a deal for the Guinea international on transfer deadline day, the Foxes are prepared to take him on loan.
Currently away on international duty, the centre-half is one of the Tigers' better paid players after signing for £2.5m from Young Boys Berne in their first top-flight season.
But the 25-year-old has been in erratic form this season, despite featuring in every game of the campaign.
Foxes boss Paulo Sousa wants to recruit a new central defender and he missed out on a big-money deal for Ashley Williams from his former club Swansea earlier this week.
With loans now his only option, he views Zayatte as a good solution to his recruitment dilemma.
Moving Zayatte on, even on-loan, would allow City to free up cash to bring in Liverpool defender Daniel Ayala.
A season-long loan deal has already been agreed in principle with the Reds and the 19-year-old defender should switch when City can make room on the club's tight wage bill.
