Leicester City are in the hunt to sign Derek Riordan, according to the agent of the Celtic striker.
The former Hibernian frontman has yet to make an appearance for the Scottish champions this season and agent Jim McArthur claims the Foxes have set their sights on his client after pulling out of a move for veteran former Premier League striker Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink.
"Leicester have been in touch and I'd expect them to step it up," he told The Sun.
"I've spoken with their owner Milan Mandaric over the weekend and I would like to think something could move this week.
"They went in for Hasselbaink and didn't get him and now they've turned their attentions to Derek."
