Leicester City have asked about Lorient winger Dango Ouattara.
Brendan Rodgers is eager to stave off the threat of relegation by adding to his squad this month - and the 20-year-old Burkina Faso international has impressed scouts this season.
A winger is high on Leicester's priority list in January and Ouattara is viewed as one of Europe's most exciting young players.
Ouattara has proven to be one of the breakout stars in France this season, with Lorient sixth and in contention to push for European football.
