Leicester City could be very close to announcing the signing of Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare.

The young talent was part of the France Under-21 side that were knocked out of the European Championships by the Netherlands.

According to the Leicester Mercury, both parties have agreed on a deal in the range of £18 million to £20 million.

The 22-year-old started for France against the Dutch on Monday, but was unable to help his side go to the semi finals.

Now he is likely to get his dream move to the Premier League, as he gets a chance to shine in the most watched league in world football.
