Moore keen on extending Foxes deal

Leicester City defender Liam Moore is keen to secure a new deal with the Championship leaders, despite interest from Fulham, according to the Daily Star.

The Premier League side had a £2m bid for the centre-back rejected last week, with Nigel Pearson keen to keep together his side as he looks to secure the promotion back to the top flight that has eluded the Foxes in recent seasons.

Moore has eighteen months remaining on his current deal, and is keen to commit his future to the East Midlands club having established himself as one of the brightest talents in the second tier.

His form even saw him earn an England U21 recall earlier in the season, having earned his one and only cap so far as a substitute in a friendly against Northern Ireland in November 2012 while in September, he was named the Championship’s Young Player of the Month.
