Leicester chase Davids signature

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has confirmed that the club are trying to sign former Netherlands international midfielder Edgar Davids.

The 36-year-old, who has 65 caps, has played for Ajax, AC Milan, Juventus and Tottenham and is a free agent after leaving Ajax in the summer of 2008.

Foxes boss Pearson told BBC Radio Leicester: "There's been interest in both directions.

"But whether it comes to anything is another story."

Signing Davids would be a remarkable coup for Championship side Leicester.

They only returned to the second tier of English football this term after a season in League One but have made a promising start and are in eighth spot following Tuesday night's win over Crystal Palace.

Pearson added: "When players become available if they are the right players for us then we investigate it.

"There's been interest but after that I'm not in a position to comment further. There's nothing to elaborate on at the moment."

Davids began his career with Ajax in his him homeland in 1991 and went on to win the European Cup with them in 1995.

He then moved to AC Milan in 1996 before joining Juventus a year later and has been a European Cup runner-up on three other occasions.

He has also won domestic league titles in Holland and Italy.

Davids moved to the Premier League in 2005, joining Tottenham where he spent 18 months before returning to Ajax in January 2007.
