MK Dons are reportedly interested in signing former England defender Matthew Upson.

The 36-year-old is a free agent after being released by Leicester City upon the expiry of his contract in June.

Upson joined the Foxes last summer on a one-year deal from Brighton & Hove Albion but did not make his debut for them until January due to injury.

The Dons are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of their first season as a Championship club.

According to The Hinckley Times, they have held talks with Upson over a potential move to Stadium MK.

The centre-back played 21 times for England between 2003 and 2010.

Upson has also played for Birmingham City, West Ham United, Arsenal and Stoke City during his career.
