Leicester City are reportedly keen on signing the Getafe defender.
According to a report from French media outlet France Football, Leicester are preparing a £25 million for Getafe centre-back Djené Dakonam, with Claude Puel seemingly intent on bolstering his central defensive options at the King Power Stadium this summer.
The 26-year-old joined the La Liga outfit in the summer of 2017, and really impressed for José Bordalás’ men last season, making 36 appearances in all competitions.
Standing at just 5ft 10in tall, Djené is not an archetypal centre-back, although he does possess a fantastic leap that more than makes up for his lack of height.
Every Love Island contestant if they were an England player – World Cup!
He is also incredibly quick along the ground and has an impressive knack of anticipating danger before it has truly materialised.
French publication France Football claims that Leicester are keen on signing the 31-capped Togo international, and are preparing a £25 million bid for his services.
The Foxes will face competition from Sevilla for the Getafe ace’s signature, however, according to France Football.
If a bidding war ensues, Leicester should have no problem beating the La Liga side to Djené, however, what with their superior financial muscle.
