Genk forward Bilal El Khannouss is edging closer to his move to Leicester City, boss Steve Cooper confirmed.
The Morocco international is poised to complete a deal for about £21m before Friday's transfer deadline, and before the Foxes host Aston Villa on Saturday.
The 20-year-old, who was born in Belgium, has made 90 appearances for Genk and won the Belgian Pro League's Young Player of the Season in 2023-24.
Cooper said: "The process is definitely in motion, there's no point denying that. It's not completed and I don't want to go too early on it.
