Big-spending Leicester City are on the verge of their latest purchase as defender Matt Mills prepares to join from Championship rivals Reading. The Foxes have had an offer of more than £5 million accepted by the Royals. The centre-back will discuss personal terms and complete a medical ahead of a possible move to his hometown club. The 24-year-old's transfer would break the club's current transfer record of £5m which they paid for striker Ade Akinbiyi in 2000. A Reading statement read: "The Leicester-born centre-half expressed an interest in speaking with City and those discussions are now under way." Former Southampton, Manchester City and Doncaster centre-back Mills will initially cost £4.5 million with add-ons.
We had a very similar encounter with the "News team". The slowest breaking news source on the planet.
I'm not sure how a view of you from the back is relevant to Mills but for some reason it's a very compelling point...
Matt Mills was born in Leicester. We had this debate last week as wikipedia said Swindon but our local reporter said Leicester. So our reporter asked Mills earlier and he said Leicester
