Leicester City Football Club have cooled their interest in Apostolos Vellios.

The Greek striker is being eased into the first team picture at Everton under David Moyes, who considers him to be one for the future at Goodison Park.

Nigel Pearson, the Leicester manager, was said to be lining up a loan bid for the 20-year-old, as he looked to boost his attacking options at the King Power Stadium.

However, with Jermaine Beckford no longer facing a suspension after having his recent red card quashed, the Liverpool Echo claims the Foxes have cooled their interest in Vellios.
