Kieran wanted to be a regular starter for Spurs and it looked like he would have his say when Kyle Walker departed for Manchester City for £50m in the Summer.

However the London club signed Paris St-Germain defender Serge Aurier in August and Kieran has been on the bench since.

The 27 year old spent his youth at Manchester City and has made 3 senior England appearances.

He joined Tottenham for a fee of just £3.5m with Leicester being prepared to spend £20m on the right-back who would be a welcomed addition to the squad.
