Former Coach Claims Leicester City Are 'Tracking' Star Basel Forward Amid Transfer Links

Ian Burchall, the former coach of Mohamed Elyounoussi, has confirmed that Leicester City are 'tracking' the Basel star.

The 23-year-old Norwegian international has scored seven goals and provided 13 assists in his 34 appearances for the Swiss side this season. The winger, who can also be deployed behind the striker, has earned a number of rave reviews - including from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola - for some fine individual performances.

Elyounoussi's agent Ferhat Cific recently confirmed that there is widespread interest in his client - but refused to name specific clubs.

"I don't want to speak specifically about certain clubs, but there are lots of teams interested in Mohamed," Cifici told ESPN FC.
