Leicester City are eager to sign Uruguayan defender Sebastian Caceres, according to Football Insider.

Manager Brendan Rodgers is actively seeking defensive reinforcements ahead of the new season.

21-year-old centre-back Caceres, who is wanted by several top European clubs after an impressive time with Club America in Mexico, is emerging as a primary target.

Caceres is valued at around £20 million by his club, but Leicester may want to bring down that price.

If Caceres does sign, he would compete with Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana and Caglar Soyuncu for a starting spot.
