Leicester City are reportedly looking to bolster their defence this summer, and Brendan Rodgers is desperate to land a central defender before the transfer deadline.
According to reports from The Mirror (printed edition, page 66), the Foxes have now turned their attention towards signing Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji this summer.
Leicester have been linked with moves for players like James Tarkowski and Fofana, but the Foxes are struggling to meet their asking price.
In the case of Fofana, St Etienne are reluctant to offload the highly-rated 19-year-old defender.
