Leicester City are believed to be close to completing the signing of Ezequiel Schelotto.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Foxes are set to land the 26-year-old winger on a free transfer once they offload one of their registered players.

It is believed that the former Inter Milan man, who was linked with Nottingham Forest on deadline day, will soon move to the East Midlands in what could be seen as an odd move by Claudio Ranieri considering his team is up and running and firing on all cylinders.

Schelotto was released by Inter after mutually agreeing to have his contract terminated in late August.
