Leicester City eye January move for Boubakar Kouyate?

Leicester City have reportedly “explored” the possibility of signing Metz centre-back Boubakar Kouyate, according to The Sun.

The Mali international has impressed during the Africa Cup Of Nations, and he is quickly gaining attention for his scintillating form in the league as well.

According to The Sun, the Foxes are now looking at the 24-year-old defender as a potential late signing in the January transfer window, and he could be available on loan-to-buy offer.

However, the east Midlands are not the only club taking a look at the centre-back, as Lyon, Southampton and Aston Villa are also credited with an interest.

Kouyate has a contract with Metz until 2024.
