Udinese are set to snap up Filip Benkovic.

Benkovic was released from his contract at Leicester City this morning and will join Udinese in a free transfer.

The 24-year-old moved to Leicester from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer of 2018 for a fee of £13million.

But in the three-and-a-half years since then, the one-time Croatia international has managed to play for Leicester only twice.

He did spent a season on loan at Celtic where he made 20 appearances and won the treble.
