Leicester, Newcastle chasing Torino defender Lorenzo De Silvestri

Torino are fighting to keep hold of Lorenzo De Silvestri.

The fullback, who scored five goals and produced four assists this season, has attracted interest from bigger Serie A clubs and abroad.

TMW says Premier League enquiries have arrived, with Leicester City and Newcastle United in contact.

De Silvestri, 29, recognises this could be the last chance of a big club move and is seriously considering demanding a transfer.

For his part, Toro coach Walter Mazzarri has made it clear they cannot afford to lose De Silvestri this summer.
