Leicester make enquiry over Morocco’s World Cup hero Azzedine Ounahi and set to make £39m transfer offer to Angers

LEICESTER have expressed interest in signing Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi from Angers, according to reports.

Ounahi, 22, played a crucial part in Morocco’s sensational World Cup campaign this year.

Leicester have enquired about Ounahi and could offer £39.5mHe helped the Atlas Lions all the way to the semi-finals of the tournament before they were eventually knocked out by France.

His impressive performances also attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs including Leeds and West Ham.

And according to L’Equipe, Leicester have now made an enquiry.

Following his World Cup success, Ounahi is now eager to leave Angers in search of a new challenge elsewhere in Europe.

Angers officials are willing to accept any suitable transfer offer for the midfielder in January, but they want him to remain in France on loan until the end of the 2022-23 season.

Leicester are reportedly prepared to offer up to £39.5million for Ounahi next month.

The Foxes are at risk of losing star man Youri Tielemans on a free transfer in June, so signing a new midfielder during the upcoming transfer window will be crucial.

Out-of-favour Manchester United midfielder Donny van De Beek has also been linked with a move to the King Power Stadium, but Ounahi appears to be at the top of Brendan Rodgers’ transfer wishlist.

He has scored five goals and assisted three in 13 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season.
