LEICESTER could throw Danish keeper Daniel Iversen into a swap for Sunderland No 1 Anthony Patterson.
Iversen, 25, looks likely to be available if the Foxes can pull off a deal for England Under-21 star Patterson, 22.
Boss Brendan Rodgers is willing to let Iversen head for Wearside if the two clubs can sort out valuations.
Iversen’s Premier League wages could be a big hurdle, though, as Sunderland work on a much tighter budget.

Patterson on the other hand has had an impressive campaign for his current club Sunderland.
The young shot-stopper has played 38 league games and managed 11 clean sheets with the Black Cats currently 11th in the Championship.
Iversen has had a bit-part role with Leicester despite their problems in the goalkeeping department, making only a handful of appearances.
