Leicester City are reportedly looking to bring the utility man to the King Power Stadium this month.
According to the Daily Mail, the Foxes have submitted a £2.5 million bid for Marseille’s Bouna Sarr, as Claude Puel looks to add more strength in depth to his squad.
The 25-year-old is a right winger by trade, but can also play as a right-back or left winger.
The Marseille man has impressed in Ligue 1 this season, operating up and down the right hand flank for his side, and his athleticism and stamina levels would certainly offer Leicester something extra, both defensively and offensively.
Sarr joined Marseille from Metz in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.8 million, and still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal at the Stade Vélodrome.
The Daily Mail claims that Marseille will reject the Foxes’ opening offer of £2.5 million for the utility man, however, and will instead hold out for more money.
With the January transfer window now well and truly open for business, this will certainly be one for Leicester fans to keep a close eye on over the next few days.
