Daily Mail | August 31, 2022

Leicester are pursuing a deal for Atalanta star Jeremie Boga and are ready to make an opening offer for the winger.

The Foxes are about to sell Dennis Praet to Torino for €8.5million (£7.3m) and want to invest 100 per cent of the money collected to aid their bid for the Ivorian winger, who has thrived in Serie A for many years.

Boga could now return to the Premier League after his brief experience in Chelsea should Atalanta entertain Leicester's opening bid.

The African star is not considered a first choice by Gian Piero Gasperini and at the beginning of the year he was never viewed by his boss a suitable player for Atalanta.
