Dinamo Zagreb defender Filip Benkovic is reportedly set to undergo a medical at Leicester ahead of a move to the 2015/16 Premier League champions.
With the future of Harry Maguire still in doubt amid reported interest from Manchester United, the Foxes are looking to strengthen a backline that looked weak at certain points last season.
Croatia Under-21 international defender Benkovic, who has interested Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund in the past, is now likely to join Leicester after a fee of £13m was agreed with Zagreb, according to HITC.
Earlier on Tuesday, Sky Sports also claimed a 'broad agreement' had been reached and that Benkovic would fly to England to complete the deal.
