Leicester City are in talks over an £17.2million deal for Reims defender Wout Faes.
The Belgium international has been pulled out of his club's trip to Angers for tomorrow night's French league fixture after Reims accepted an offer from Leicester on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Faes has agreed a five-year contract and will be the replacement for Wesley Fofana, who has completed his medical in New York ahead of joining Chelsea for £70million plus add ons.
Faes has made 75 appearances since joining Reims in 2020, having previously played for Heerenveen, Excelsior and Oostende.
