Leicester City are said to be looking to sign Stoke City midfielder Steven N'Zonzi, and tie up the permanent signing of Robert Huth in the process.
Former Germany international defender Huth joined the Foxes on loan in February and played a key role in them securing Premier League survival.
N'Zonzi is out of contract at the Britannia Stadium next year and it is thought that he has told Stoke's hierarchy that he is looking to leave the club.
Sevilla have reportedly had a £3m bid turned down for the Frenchman, and now Leicester boss Nigel Pearson has launched a £7m bid, according to The Independent.
The report adds that Pearson has also agreed a £3m fee to sign Huth permanently, which could rise to £4m based on appearances.
N'Zonzi joined Stoke from Blackburn Rovers in 2012.
