Atalanta winger Jeremie Boga is back on Leicester City's radar for January market.

Talks over a deal for the 25-year-old broke down at the 11th hour on deadline day in the summer but Leicester are increasingly hopeful they can reach an agreement over the coming weeks, says the Daily Mail.

The Ivory Coast international, formerly of Chelsea, has fallen out of favour at Italian side Atalanta and they are looking to offload him to save on their wage bill.

Ideally Leicester want an obligation to buy included in negotiations.

French-born Boga started out at Chelsea where he had three spells out on loan before joining Sassuolo for £3.5m.

After impressing with 18 goals in 99 games for Sassuolo, he was snapped up by Atalanta but has struggled to settle and replicate his form.
