Leicester City are jumping in on Tottenham's proposed move for Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The 22-year-old is someone Spurs have been chasing all summer, but have not reached an agreement with Bologna for his signature.

Now the Foxes are weighing in on making an offer for the Japan international as well, per The Telegraph.

The King Power Stadium club desire a new defender after the long term injury suffered by Wesley Fofana in preseason.

Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard is seen as the favorite to sign for Leicester, but a move for Tomiyasu is possible as well.
