Leicester City have reportedly struck a deal with Caen for midfielder N'Golo Kante.
The 24-year-old is said to have attracted the attention of Marseille and Arsenal following his strong form in Ligue 1 last season.
It has been reported that Leicester are looking to bolster their midfield options following Matty James's cruciate knee ligament injury, and Kante has emerged as an option.
According to The Express, Leicester have been in talks with Caen for several weeks and have now had a £7.8m bid accepted for the Frenchman.
Kante made 38 appearances for Caen last season.
