Leicester City are working hard to fend off interest from European clubs for promising midfielder Sidnei Tavares.

According to Football Insider, Benfica and RB Leipzig are among the teams keeping tabs on Tavares.

The Portugal youth international has recently broken into the first team with the Foxes this season.

He has three appearances for the first team.

The 19-year-old is out of contract this summer, and could sign with another team if he decides to move on.

Leicester are hopeful of securing him to a new contract, and will work with his representatives in the coming weeks.
