The Stoke City winger is said to have been tracked by Leicester City for the past three seasons.
Leicester City have failed in their attempt to sign Mame Biram Diouf from Stoke City, according to the Sun.
It is claimed that Leicester’s offer fell short of Stoke’s £15 million valuation of the forward, who began the new Championship season on the bench as Gary Rowett’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Leeds United.
The Foxes have been on the lookout for a new wide man after selling Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City, although whether they decide to pursue a deal for Diouf ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline remains to be seen, with Rachid Ghezzal arriving from Monaco on Sunday.
Diouf, who has also been used as a right wing-back or central striker by Stoke, has been tracked by Leicester for the past three seasons, according to the Sun.
The 30-year-old former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers player has two years left on his contract at the Bet 365 Stadium.
