​Schalke stopper Kabak, West Ham ace Diop among defensive targets for Leicester

Leicester City are being linked with moves for several defenders, including Schalke's Ozan Kabak and West Ham United's Issa Diop.

The Foxes are reeling after the news that Wesley Fofana will be out for much of the 2021/2022 season with a serious leg injury.

Kabak has been offered to Leicester and another Premier League side, according to Bild.

Crystal Palace are thought to have put in a bid for the Turkish star, who was on loan with Liverpool last term.

FootMercato are linking Diop with Leicester, along with Crystal Palace, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Fofana is out until early to mid 2022, as Leicester confirmed a scan showed his injury was even more serious than initially feared.
