According to the source, the Leicester bosses were pleased with Marsh's energy and ideas and now hope that Jesse will repeat his trick from last season, when he managed to help Leeds retain their Premier League registration at a fast pace.

Interestingly, Southampton was also interested in Jesse Marsch's services, but the Saints failed to agree on the terms of the American specialist's contract.
