Leicester City keen to sign Brazilian midfielder?

Gremio midfielder Walace Souza Silva has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Leicester City.

The 21-year-old - who represented Brazil during the Olympic Games - has been with Gremio since 2013 but it appears that he could be offered the chance to move to England during the January window.

According to The Sun, Walace has been identified as a potential long-term replacement for N'Golo Kante, with Leicester having struggled since his move to Chelsea.

It has been claimed that the Foxes are already in talks with Walace's agent and that a £10m transfer could be pushed through should he be allowed to made the switch to at the turn of the year.

Leicester currently sit in 14th position in the Premier League table.
