Leicester, West Ham eyeing West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi

Leicester City and West Ham are eyeing West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi.

The Sun says Egyptian international Hegazi, 27, moved to the Hawthorns last summer on loan from Al Ahly.

He joined full-time in January and played in all 38 of the Baggies' Premier League fixtures last season.

In fact, the only game he missed was the 2-1 home loss to Manchester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

He scored the winning goal on his debut in the opening day victory over Bournemouth and then the opener - which eventually meant little - in the 2-3 reverse at home to Southampton.

But now West Bromwich have been relegated there is a release clause in Hegazi's contract that allows him to leave for just £2.5million.
