Leicester City are closing on a deal for Santos striker Gabriel Barbosa.

The Daily Star says Santos president Modesto Roma arrived in London yesterday, with talks to be held with Chelsea over Thiago Maia.

However, Roma is also set to speak to Leicester about a move for Gabigol.

The striker is a top target for Inter Milan, but Roma's presence in England this week hands the Foxes an advantage.

Roma is expected to leave for Lisbon tomorrow.
