Dennis Praet Undergoing Leicester Medical After Agreeing £18m With Sampdoria

Leicester are closing in on a £18m move for U.C. Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet, after the Belgian flew into England to undergo his medical at the club.

After selling Harry Maguire for a world-record £80m fee, the Foxes have money to spend and now look set to announce their fourth signing of the summer after finalising deals for Youri Tielemans, James Justin and Ayoze Perez earlier in the window.

Praet was hugely impressive in Serie A side last season, featuring 34 times in the league for I Blucerchiati as the Italian side finished ninth in the league.
