Leicester City have reportedly agreed a fee with Wigan Athletic to sign James McArthur.
The Scottish midfielder has been linked for most of the summer with a switch to Burnley.
However, Leicester appear to have stolen a march on their Premier League rivals by matching Wigan's asking price for the 26-year-old, according to Sky Sports News.
It is believed that Leicester will pay in excess of £5m for the former Hamilton Academical player, who is expected to have a medical at the King Power Stadium in the near future.
