Leicester City are closing on a deal for Inter Milan fullback Yuto Nagatomo.

The People says Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri is pushing to sign the Japan international.

Premier League rivals Norwich City and West Brom as well as Turkish giants Galatasaray were interested in luring the 28-year-old full-back from the San Siro but Ranieri has agreed a £3million fee for Nagatomo, who will sign a three-year, £40,000-a-week deal.

Ranieri worked with Nagatomo during his six-month spell at the San Siro.
