Championship outfit Leicester City are close to taking another Hungarian player on loan.

Defensive midfielder Gabor Bori is close to joining compatriot Zsolt Laczko at the Foxes as Ian Holloway's Leicester revolution continues.

The player, 24, plays for Budapest-based MTK Hungaria and has been capped once by Hungary.

He spent a week on trial at the Foxes before Christmas and flew to England on Thursday evening.

Debut

Discussing his probable move, Bori told Nemzeti Sport: "My agent informed me before my latest training with MTK [on Thursday] that the two clubs have mainly agreed about the conditions of my possible transfer.

"I flew to England on Thursday night as I was invited to train with Leicester.

"I want to get into the first team and prove that after my loan period Leicester should extend my stay permanently."

Adapt

He added: "Marton Fulop helped me a lot when I was in England in December and I'm sure I'll adapt quickly, I'm not afraid of it.

"As I know, Zsolt Laczko also joins the club for half-a-year, just like me. In England it's a common act by the teams [that they loan a player] - they don't want to spend a lot of money before the player hasn't proved himself.

"The Championship is the sixth strongest league in Europe - I will do my best to be able to stick here."

Winger Laczko joined Leicester on Friday on loan for the rest of the season from Olympiakos, with the Foxes having an option of then signing him.
