Leicester looking to splash the cash with £35million summer move for star Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare... with the Frenchman having already caught the attention of both Manchester clubs and AC Milan

Leicester City are reportedly hoping to test Lille's resolve with a £35million bid for star midfielder Boubakary Soumare.

The 22-year-old, who is an impressive ball carrier and is comfortable receiving possession in tight spaces, has been at the Ligue 1 pacesetters since a 2017 move from Paris Saint-Germain's B team and is enjoying his best year to date, with 40 appearances under his belt in all competitions already this term as Christophe Galtier's men lead perennial champions PSG by a point with just three games remaining.

His form has already caught the attention of the Manchester clubs and AC Milan this season, with The Sun now reporting that the Foxes are willing to up the ante after it was reported in February that Brendan Rodgers would be looking to capitalise on Soumare's contract running out in 2022 to drive the asking price down.
