Leicester City are closing on a deal for Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare.

Manchester City, Manchester United and AC Milan have been watching the France U21 international.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports, however, that it is Leicester City who are favourites to land Soumare this summer.

Negotiations between the parties are already well underway with the aim of completing an agreement by the opening of the offseason transfer window.

Soumare has a contract with Lille to 2022.
