Leicester City have made a £23million offer for Santos striker Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol.
The 19-year-old is taking part in the Olympics with Brazil but also has interest from Inter Milan, Juventus and Barcelona.
Leicester have also asked about Deportivo's Lucas Perez as they brace themselves for last ditch offers for Riyad Mahrez.
And in a bid to strengthen his ranks as they bid to retain their Premier League crown, Claudio Ranieri has pressed ahead with a move for the Brazilian.
