Leicester City have made a £2.5million bid for Marseille's Bouna Sarr.
The 25-year-old can play as a right back or right winger and is a Guinea international.
Leicester boss Claude Puel knows him well from the French league and is keen to strengthen his options down the right flank.
Marseille will reject Leicester's opening bid but the King Power Stadium side will return with a revised offer.
The Foxes have already been active in this month's window, signing young forward Fousseni Diabate from Ligue 2 side Ajaccio in a £4.
