Claudio Ranieri has confirmed that Leicester City is monitoring Pescara forward Gianluca Lapadula.
The 26-year-old striker has scored 24 goals in 38 Serie B appearances this season as Pescara chases promotion to the Italian top flight.
"We're looking at players in Italy. Lapadula is a good player. We've been following him for some time,” Ranieri told Gazzetta dello Sport.
Earlier in May, Pescara’s president Daniele Sebastiani confirmed that he had spoken to Ranieri about Lapadula.
