Leicester City are believed to be showing significant interest in Leeds United's Charlie Taylor.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that the reigning Premier League champions sent scouts to Elland Road to watch the 23-year-old in the EFL Cup win over Norwich City on Tuesday, in which he was an unused sub.

Full-back Taylor is available on a free at the end of the season after rejecting a contract to extend with the West Yorkshire club and the Foxes are keen to get a jump on expected rivals.

It is understood that Leicester are eyeing an eventual replacement for Christian Fuchs despite the fact the Austrian recently committed until the summer of 2019.

Liverpool were linked with the Leeds youth product in the summer while AFC Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion have also been credited with an interest.
