Report: Leicester City want Aleksandar Dragovic

Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing Dynamo Kiev defender Aleksandar Dragovic in the upcoming winter transfer window.

The 24-year-old joined Kiev from Basel in 2013 - signing a five-year deal - and has made close to 60 league appearances for his Ukrainian club.

According to the Daily Mail, Kiev are against selling their centre-back, but would be prepared to discuss a deal if Leicester offered in the region of £16m.

The Foxes will end 2015 in second spot in the Premier League table, level on points with first-placed Arsenal.

It is understood that head coach Claudio Ranieri will be given funds to spend in the January transfer window in a bid to challenge for a top-four finish.
