Former Tranmere Rovers defender Zoumana Bakayogo is reportedly undergoing a medical at Championship outfit Leicester City.
The 26-year-old, who has previously played for Paris Saint-Germain, is currently available on a free transfer after leaving Tranmere at the end of last season.
A number of clubs have been linked with his services, but according to BBC Sport, Leicester have moved to the head of the queue.
Bakayogo spent four years at Prenton Park.
