Leicester City are stepping up their move for Real Sociedad winger Adnan Januzaj.

The Manchester Evening News says Leicester are interested in signing Januzaj to replace Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian left the Foxes to join Manchester City for £60million in the close season.

And Leicester boss Claude Puel has identified former Manchester United youngster Januzaj as his replacement.

Januzaj struggled at Old Trafford but has been revitalised by a move to Real Sociedad in La Liga.

The 23-year-old was part of the Belgium squad at this summer's World Cup and scored the winner against England in their group game.
