Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing FCSB defender Joyskim Dawa during the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old has played the majority of his senior men's football in various leagues around Europe such as Latvia, Romania and Ukraine.
However, Dawa is quickly building a reputation as a highly-capable defender due to his performances on the continental stage for FCSB this campaign in the Europa League.
The Romanian giants have made a flawless start to life in the League Phase of UEFA's second-tier club competition, beating Rigas Futbola Skola of Latvia and Greek powerhouses PAOK, leading to a current fourth-placed standing.
Dawa possesses relative international pedigree, having featured on seven occasions for Cameroon since making his debut for the nation in November 2018.
Leicester request information on Joyskim?
According to The Mirror, Leicester are targeting the acquisition of a centre-back during the January transfer window, requesting information on defender Dawa.
The report claims that scouts from a host of English clubs were in attendance on October 3, when the 28-year-old put in a brilliant display to ensure that FCSB secured maximum points versus PAOK in the Europa League.
It is understood that Dawa has a £4m release clause written into his current deal at the Romanian club, meaning that he would be a low-risk option for Premier League clubs.
There is belief from the centre-back's representatives and watchers of FCSB that the Cameroonian could provide competition for defensive spots at a top-flight club in England.
Dawa will next take to the field for his current club when FCSB make the trip to Dinamo Bucuresti in Romania's Superliga on Sunday night.
Everton, Fulham also keen on Joyskim?
Unfortunately for the Foxes, they are not alone in their fondness of Dawa, with Premier League rivals Fulham and Everton also keeping tabs on the player's development.
It is believed that Marco Silva's Cottagers have already met with the defender's representatives earlier this month to discuss a possible switch to the English capital.
As is the case with Leicester, it is said that Championship side Burnley have had their interest peaked by Dawa, who will now be under closer surveillance from the Turf Moor club. body check tags ::
