Leicester City are closing in on a deal for Thanawat Suengchitthawon from Nancy.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder is a hot prospect who came from the Ligue 2 team's academy.
He is French-Thai and would be valuable for Leicester, who have Thai ownership.
RMC Sport suggests the player is going to sign for the Foxes in the summer on a free transfer.
His contract with Nancy expires this summer, making him free to select his next team.
It is unclear if he has been promised a prominent role at Leicester, or if he will serve as backup during his first season in English football.
