Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing the Burnley and Bournemouth defenders.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Leicester are weighing up moves for Burnley’s James Tarkowski and Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake following Harry Maguire’s £85 million move to Manchester United.
The Foxes seem to be in great shape heading into the new Premier League campaign, having completed the signings of Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Perez and James Justin for a combined £77 million.
Central defence will be a concern for Brendan Rodgers, however, having lost Maguire.
Sky Sports claims that Leicester are looking to rectify that by signing at least one of either Tarkowski or Ake.
Sky Sports suggests that both defenders could cost in excess of £40 million.
Tarkowski, 26, is a solid centre-back, but it could be argued that £40 million is rather excessive for the Burnley ace.
Ake, meanwhile, is probably more mobile than the Clarets centre-back, and at 24, he is also two years younger.
Both players would be good signings for Leicester, but the Bournemouth ace would probably be the better value, if Rodgers has to just choose one.
