Leicester City may be linked with a host of players said to be potential transfer targets during the January transfer window, but manager Nigel Pearson will continue to play his cards close to his chest.
In the build-up to tonight's visit of Liverpool to the King Power Stadium, Pearson was asked about his interest in former Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe, but he was not about to give anything away.
City did show an interest in Defoe in August on transfer deadline day but no deal could be done with Defoe's club Toronto FC.
QPR were also in for Defoe and manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed it is a deal he wants to look at again in January, but Pearson did not go as far as Redknapp.
"Our policy remains the same, I don't intend to speculate on speculation," said Pearson.
"There are going to be names mentioned but any business we will do we will try to do appropriate to ourselves, other clubs and players.
"We've seen in the past deals do not go through and it is embarrassing for all concerned."
