Champions Leicester City have reportedly installed Thorgan Hazard as their number one summer transfer target.
The 23-year-old is the younger brother of Chelsea playmaker Eden, who scored the goal on Monday night against Tottenham Hotspur that secured Leicester the title.
Now, Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws claims that the Foxes want to begin their defence of the trophy by bringing Thorgan to England.
The winger was once on the books of Chelsea alongside his elder sibling, but he left last summer for Borussia Monchengladbach without making a senior appearance.
It is believed that Leicester's chief scout Steve Walsh has since been impressed by Thorgan's performances in the Bundesliga and encouraged manager Claudio Ranieri to sanction a move.
The report adds that Walsh has also monitored fellow Belgians Dennis Praet and Zakaria Bakkali.
