Leicester lead the race for former Wolves ace Sako

Leicester City are the favourites to sign recently-departed Wolves winger Bakary Sako this summer.


The Mali international, who is a free agent, has attracted the attentions of many clubs in recent weeks but according to the Birmingham Mail, is set to seal a move to the King Power Stadium.

Both Everton and Aston Villa are all reported to be interested in the player, who scored 15 goals and assisted 10 in the Championship last season, but the Foxes have reportedly won the race for his services.

27-year old Sako has recently revealed his desire to play in the Premier League, saying: "I have some offers from the Premier League and some from abroad, but I want to play in the Premier League."
