Leicester City are chasing Sporting CP midfielder William Carvalho.

The Sun says the Foxes are eyeing a sensational swoop for Carvalho if N'Golo Kante departs.

Kante, 25, has been a key figure in the Foxes' incredible charge to the brink of the Premier League title this season.

The midfield destroyer — signed for just £5.4million from Caen last August — is set to attract big-money bids from several European giants this summer.

And King Power boss Claudio Ranieri is lining up a move for Sporting Lisbon ace Carvalho as a potential replacement.
