Leicester City will attempt to seek permission from Hull City for a second time to speak to manager Nigel Pearson, according to Sky Sports News.

The Foxes were denied talks with their former manager by the Championship club. However, Leicester are determined to speak to Pearson over their vacant managerial spot.

Reports emerged this morning claiming that the 48-year-old would welcome a return to the club.

Pearson was replaced last summer by former England boss Sven Goran-Eriksson, who was subsequently sacked by the Foxes last month.
