Leicester City have made a move for Lorient winger Dango Ouattara.

Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers is eager to stave off the threat of relegation by adding to his squad this month - and the 20-year-old Burkina Faso international has impressed scouts this season, says the Daily Mail.

A winger is high on Leicester's priority list in January and Ouattara is viewed as one of Europe's most exciting young players.

Ouattara has proven to be one of the breakout stars in France this season, with Lorient sixth and in contention to push for European football.

The Burkina Faso ace has taken a big stride forward having managed just one goal and two assists from 25 matches last season.
