Leicester City want Fenerbahce forward Vedat Muriqi

Leicester City have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi to provide competition for Jamie Vardy, according to Haber3.

The Kosovan international, who joined Fenerbahce from Caykur Rizespor, has scored 10 goals in just 14 games with two of those coming on Friday night as Leicester City’s scouts watched on with interest.

Reports from Turkey claim that the 25-year-old forward is valued at somewhere around £18 million, a fee that is unlikely to put the Foxes off.

The 2015-16 English champions have money to spend and, after a club-record eight successive top-flight victories, the prolific centre-forward could help push the East Midlands over the line.

Muriqi has proven himself to be one of the breakthrough stars of European football this season.
