Derek Fazackerley insists Leicester will move quickly in the loan market if they need to strengthen the squad. But the new assistant manager added the current crop of players will be given every chance to impress boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Fazackerley told the Leicester Mercury: "This is a strong squad that reached the play-offs last season.

"But a club cannot stand still - the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United talk about strengthening and we are no different here. We may have to move quickly and see what is available."

Fazackerley, speaking on the club's tour of Thailand, believes Eriksson's reputation will count for a lot when trying to bring new players to the Walkers Stadium.

He added: "A manager like Sven attracts good players but we have inherited a good squad which has not made a good start."
