Leicester City are close to agreeing a deal with Belgian side Genk to sign Nigerian teenage midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, according to Sky Sports.

With add-ons for appearances and international recognition, the total fee could rise to £15m for the 19 year old, if terms can be finalised once next month's transfer window opens.

Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri has been keen to add to his midfield options after losing N'Golo Kante to Chelsea in the summer.
