Leicester City are eyeing Reading midfielder Modou Barrow.

Sportbladet says the Sweden international is a target this week for Foxes boss Claude Puel.

Barrow joined the Royals last summer from Swansea City and shone in the Championship, scoring ten goals and making four assists in 41 games.

Reading have quoted Leicester a price of £8.5m to sign Barrow - which they regard as too steep.

However, negotiations will continue today as Puel pushes to add to his midfield.
