Leicester boss not looking to sign compatriots this summer
Leicester boss Sven Goran Eriksson has played down reports he is interested in two Swedish players.
The Swedish coach has been linked with Hacken hotshot Mathias Ranegie in his homeland, along with Helsingborgs IF striker Alexander Gerndt.
But Eriksson has poured cold water on those rumours, despite admitting he is aware of the prolific strike pair.
Ranegie is a tall target-man who is currently the Swedish league's top scorer with 14 goals from 16 games this season. The 27-year-old has won two caps for Sweden.
Back-burner
"That's not something for now," Eriksson told
TT news agency. "I know who he is, and that he scores goals."
Meanwhile, Gerndt is a right-sided forward who plays for league leaders Helsingborgs IF and has won six caps for Sweden.
The 24-year-old was top scorer and player of the year in the Swedish league in 2010, scoring 20 goals before adding another six this term.
"I saw quite a lot of him last year," Eriksson added. "He is a strong, skilful and pretty fast striker."
