Report: Leicester eye Yevhen Konoplyanka

Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing Sevilla attacker Yevhen Konoplyanka.

Sevilla won the race to sign the 26-year-old on a free transfer last summer, but the attacking midfielder had a mixed first season in Spain - scoring eight times in 52 appearances.

Despite signing a four-year contract upon his arrival in July 2015, it has been claimed that Sevilla would be prepared to sell the Ukraine international this summer if the right offer arrived.

According to Estadio Deportivo, Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is a keen admirer of the winger and will press ahead with a move if Sevilla drop their asking price of £31.5m.

Leicester could lose England international Jamie Vardy to Arsenal before Euro 2016 starts on Friday night.
