Leicester deal in place for Roma winger Cengiz Under

Leicester City have a deal in place for Roma winger Cengiz Under.

The Daily Mail says the Foxes have agreed a loan for Under that will see them make the deal permanent for £24.6million.

The clubs outlined an agreement with Leicester paying £2.7m for the initial loan and a further £21.9m next summer.

The 23-year-old Turkey international is now heading to England ahead of his medical.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has been keen to bring in a winger to improve his side's ratio of goals and assists from wide areas, so they do not rely too much on Jamie Vardy, last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner, who turns 34 in January.
