​Leicester to hijack Everton deal for Swansea midfielder Sigurdsson with huge contract offer

Leicester City are planning to offer Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson £125,000-per-week to sign with them instead of Everton.

The talismanic playmaker has been the subject of an intense pursuit by Everton, who have had a bid of £30m rejected by the Swans.

According to the Sun, Leicester are determined to sign the Icelander as a possible replacement for Riyad Mahrez.

The Welsh club are looking for £50m for Sigurdsson, but the Foxes are confident they can agree on a fee of £45m
