Eldin Jakupovic: Leicester set to sign Hull City goalkeeper

Leicester City are in advanced talks with Hull City goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic about a deal believed to be for a fee of about £2m, reports BBC Radio Leicester.

The 32-year-old would join as an understudy to Kasper Schmeichel, with Ron-Robert Zieler's future unclear.

Jakupovic, who has played international football for both Switzerland and Bosnia, has a year left on his deal.

He played 22 Premier League games last season as Hull were relegated.

Leicester, who named Craig Shakespeare as permanent manager on 8 June, competed the signing of Hull defender Harry Maguire in a £17m deal on Thursday.
