Blackburn Rovers are reportedly in talks with Leicester City regarding young winger Ben Marshall.

The 21-year-old, who joined the Foxes on deadline day in the January 2012 window, is yet to play a game this season and does not appear to be a part of Nigel Pearson's plans at the King Power Stadium.

According to Sky Sports News, Rovers are looking to strengthen their options in attack and are keen on signing the former Manchester United and Crewe Alexandra youth player.

Marshall signed professional papers with Stoke City in 2009 before loan spells at Northampton Town, Cheltenham Town, Carlisle United and Sheffield Wednesday.

He has made 61 appearances in all competitions since joining Leicester.
