Leicester City full-back James Justin has reportedly undergone positive talks with the club about extending his current contract.

Defender James Justin has held positive contract talks with Leicester City, according to a report.

The full-back made his return to the squad on January 19 in the 3-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, making his first appearance of the season from the bench.

Brendan Rodgers then started him in the following game against Brighton & Hove Albion, and he could now be set to feature regularly for the Foxes throughout the second half of the season.

According to Leicestershire Live, Justin has held positive talks with the club as of late over a contract extension, with the discussions having progressed well between them.

The potential new deal will lead to the 23-year-old extending his time with the Foxes beyond summer 2024, which is the expiry date for his current contract.

Leicester City will be back in action on Sunday following the winter break when they face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.
