Leicester boss Nigel Pearson is hoping to tie up loan deals for Arsenal youngsters Nico Yennaris and Ignasi Miquel.
Versatile Yennaris, 20, can play at right back or in midfield while former Barcelona trainee Miquel is comfortable at centre half or left back.
Yennaris went on loan to Notts County last season and his spell at Leicester could go a long way to deciding his long term future.
Spain under-21 international Miquel, 20, has also been courted by Real Sociedad for a loan spell and Arsenal are likely to let him go out to give him regular first team games.
Arsenal's defensive injury worries with left back Nacho Monreal and Thomas Vermaelen also out injured have meant Miquel has played a lot in pre-season and they may be cautious on letting him go out.
