REVEALED: Daka chooses Leicester after Liverpool, West Ham talks

RB Salzburg striker Patson Daka is ready to sign with Leicester City after talks with Liverpool and West Ham.

The Zambia international has agreed to join the Foxes, reports ZamFoot, with the chance of regular football influencing the decision.

A source close to Daka's management team says: "Yes, talks with several various clubs which have been mentioned were held but his handlers made it clear that he was only to join a club which was going to offer him game time.

“For instance one of the big clubs held talks with his people and both sides were honest with each other.

“The club were eager to sign him but didn't see him as a first-choice center forward. They wanted him to start as a fringe player. But his management didn't agree with that proposal."

Daka scored 68 goals and registered 27 assists in 125 games for the Austrian giants.
