Fiorentina's Josip Ilicic is creating a stir amongst at least a trio of Premier League clubs.

Italian publication Tuttosport claims that English champions Leicester City are at the front of a handful of teams who want the Slovenian attacking midfielder.

Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri is intent on strengthening the squad he guided to the Premier League title in 2015/16 and Ilicic could represent good value.

Ilicic, 28, is also wanted by Liverpool and Tottenham with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp eager to add bite in midfield while Mauricio Pochettino has a Champions League campaign in mind when pondering a move for the former Palermo star.
