Report: Leicester City close to completing €27M deal for Roma's Under

Leicester City are looking to strengthen their attack with the addition of Roma's Cengiz Under, reports Fabrizio Romano of The Guardian.

The Foxes are said to be hopeful of finalizing a deal with Roma that would see Under join them on an initial loan with an obligation to buy for €27 million (£24.6 million) after the season.

Leicester City apparently offered Under a five-year deal. His move to King Power Stadium should be made official in the coming week barring any unforeseen circumstances, Romano notes.

A move for the Turkish winger comes after the Foxes failed to sign Francisco Trincao from Barcelona earlier this summer with a bid reportedly worth €40 million.

The 23-year-old Under was once considered a big part of Roma's future. However, he was reduced to a bench role at the end of last season after being plagued by injuries at the start of the campaign.
