Leicester target Japan international Shinji Okazaki

By , Reporter
Mainz 05 striker Shinji Okazaki reveals that Premier League strugglers Leicester City are interested in signing him.

Mainz 05 striker Shinji Okazaki has confirmed that Leicester City are interested in signing him.

The Japan international has been the subject of an £8m bid from the Foxes which has been rejected by the Bundesliga outfit.

However, the 28-year-old has insisted that he will not be considering his club future while on international duty at the Asian Cup.

"For the time being that's finished for me. I will stop thinking about it. I'm a Mainz player and for now I want to focus on the Asian Cup," Okazaki told BBC Sport.

Okazaki has scored eight times in 16 appearances for Mainz this season.
