Leicester City are interested in Red Bull Salzburg forward Chukwubuike Adamu.

Interest is continuing to grow in the 20 year-old who is enjoying a breakout season with the Austrian champions.

His progress in Austria's top division and emergence on the Champions League stage has also alerted Leicester's Premier League rivals Southampton, Marseille and Monaco in France and a number of Bundesliga sides, says the Daily Mail.

Adamu has been in impressive form in the last month, securing a regular starting spot in the Salzburg side and scoring three times in his last seven appearances, including a Champions League last-16 strike against Bayern Munich.

Adamu, rated in the £15m bracket, has also made a step up at international level this season, earning his first call-up to Austria's senior side and a first cap in November.
