Leicester close in on Mainz striker Okazaki

Leicester City are on the verge of completing the signing of Shinji Okazaki.


Leicester have been chasing the signature of Okazaki during the past two transfer windows and the Foxes could finally be able to land the services of the striker this summer.

According to reports from Germany, Okazaki is currently in England to complete his move to the King Power Stadium after a bid of around £7million for the Japanese international has been accepted by Mainz.

Okazaki has managed 29 goals in 70 Bundesliga appearances and he could prove to be a shrewd acquisition for the Foxes.
