Former Leicester City midfielder Dean Hammond is backing a move for Adam Lallana.

Off contract in June, Liverpool midfielder Lallana is being linked with the Foxes.

Hammond told the Leicester Mercury: “Do Leicester need him? Obviously, that's another question because you've got James Maddison; Harvey Barnes can play in that position. Would he benefit the Leicester team? Would he improve it? Yes, probably.

“He's a really good player. I could imagine, if you could get him and Maddison both into the team playing together it would be pretty special.

“He would be a great signing, whether he comes or not I don't know, I haven't asked him."
