Leicester are hoping to complete deals for a central defender and a winger today.

Central defender, Wout Faes will join the Foxes from French side, Reims as a replacement for Wesley Fofana who is now a Chelsea player, while they will hope to complete a deal for Atalanta winger, Jeremie Boga.

The Foxes have sold Wesley Fofana to Chelsea for £70m.

Faes, a Belgium international, did not feature in Reims’ 4-2 win over Angers in Ligue 1 on Wednesday night as he prepared to join Brendan Rodgers’ side. The fee is expected to be around £15m.

Boga is also a target for Leicester, with a deal close.
