Leicester City are chasing Ghanaian teenager Abdul Fatawu Issahaku who played for Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League against Spurs last year.
The 19-year-old winger is not in Sporting’s plans this season with the Foxes hoping to take advantage with a loan that would include an option to buy.
Issahaku is valued at £12million by his club.
He arrived in Europe in 2022 after Sporting gave him a five-year contract to ward off Premier League suitors.
However despite making six first-team appearance last season and appearing as a substitute for Ghana at the World Cup, he is being allowed to leave.
