igel Pearson is refusing to rule out the possibility of tempting on-loan Sunderland striker Martyn Waghorn to Leicester on a permanent basis.[LNB] Pearson's immediate focus is on the club's Championship play-off campaign but thoughts about Waghorn's future are likely to be at the back of his mind.[LNB]The 20-year-old has been a huge success during his season at the Walkers Stadium, scoring 12 goals and winning the club's young player of the year award. [LNB]Black Cats boss Steve Bruce has said he wants Waghorn as one of his first-team strikers next season but that could change if the Foxes win promotion to the Premier League and are in a financial position to make Sunderland an offer.[LNB]"It is a loan deal until the end of the season - however long that is for us. Then after that who knows?" said Pearson. "I don't want to rule anything out but, at this moment in time, I don't want to spend any time talking about it either. There is no point talking about it now as we are not there yet.[LNB]"There will be a time to address the situation but that time is not now because we have what we hope will be three more games to play this season."
