Fabrizio Romano: Leicester City strike agreement for ‘unbelievable’ fourth signing, medical could take place tomorrow

Leicester scout Sean St. Ledger earlier in the year travelled to Brazil to scout talent, but in the end they have found “Pelè” in Norwich. Latest are that Leicester will be seeking a move for Canaries Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara.

Sara (25) joined Norwich from Sao Paulo two years ago, for a fee of £6million. Hopefully Leicester can be able to reach an agreement, for the player who also can operate in different midfield positions.

Nicolas Pepè is a free agent, a winger with great pace and attacking approach. The 29 year old was a £72million signing for Arsenal a few years back. He played 80 league games and scored 16 goals during his days at The Emirates. Leicester are eager to get more attacking options in, having Reiss Nelson seen as a potential new signing, Pepè would be a similar player to add, we will just wait and see.

Brahima Diarra is also mentioned as a potential player for Leicester. He has earlier been talked up as a potential signing, showing promise at Huddersfield last season. But at the moment involved in the Olympics with Mali, as he will concentrate on this tournament before making a decision on his future, being watched by a number of clubs, so a bit left to see if he can make his move to Leicester.

Leicester manager Steve Cooper is steadily working his way through a market of different quality, hopefully finding the players that will be able to lift the team in those positions that at the moment are not as well covered as we would have liked to see.

A proper replacement for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and at least one more option up front. To see Leicester adding another striker alternative looks a bit far off, as it will be difficult to see Jamie Vardy overlooked as well as buying a new striker that in a way will be in competition with the captain.

Tom Cannon and Patson Daka has so far been given minutes in pre-season, but none of them have looked sharp enough to be that alternative to ask if and when Jamie Vardy is either not the correct option or being rested.
