Leicester City are reportedly keen on securing the services of Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue.
According to reports from Italian outlet Calcio Mercato News, Premier League champions Leicester City are interested in signing Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue.
Many doubted as to whether Leicester City would be able to replicate their stunning exploits from last season during the current Premier League campaign as well and it has perhaps been unsurprising to see the Foxes making a slow start this term.
Nonetheless, Leicester have spent big in the transfer window over the summer and it is clear to see that the Foxes intend to challenge for a top four finish at the very least this season.
Leicester seem to be really missing key midfielder N’Golo Kante following his move to Chelsea during the close season and it is believed that manager Claudio Ranieri could be in the market to sign a new enforcer in January.
Now according to reports from Italian outlet Calcio Mercato News, Ranieri has already identified a potential recruit in the form of Watford star Etienne Capoue.
Capoue has enjoyed a wonderful start to the season, scoring 3 goals in 4 matches and his fine performances seem to have caught the attention of Leicester.
The report state that Capoue has been shortlisted as a target to pursue by Ranieri during the January transfer window and it will be interesting to see if Leicester will be able to prize the Frenchman away from Vicarage Road.
