Report: Leicester City join race to sign Barcelona defender Yerry Mina

Leicester City have reportedly joined the race to sign Barcelona defender Yerry Mina this summer.

Despite only joining the Blaugrana at the start of 2018, the Colombian has been linked with a summer switch away from Camp Nou.

Mina has made just six appearances for Barca and, with the summer arrival of Clement Lenglet from Sevilla, the 23-year-old is expected to fall further down the pecking order.

According to The Sun, Leicester boss Claude Puel believes that Mina can prosper in the Premier League and will urge the Foxes' owners to launch a bid for the centre-back.

Mina, who scored for Colombia against England at the World Cup, is also believed to be on the radar of Everton and West Ham United.
