Leicester transfers: Foxes want to sign another Turkey international

Foxes of Leicester brings you Leicester City transfers rumours, as the Foxes want to sign another Turkey international named Ozan Tufan.

Muzzy Izzet is probably my all-time personal favourite Leicester player so I’m happy to bring you a profile and coverage of rumours surrounding another Turk. A midfielder who apparently attracted plenty of esteemed interest before joining Fenerbahce. Tufan had admirers as highly placed as Chelsea, Manchester United and Man City prior to his 2015 switch to the Yellow Canaries

And according to The Sun, Liverpool are currently scouting the 26-year-old. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is said to have dispatched “spies” to watch Tufan’s latest national matches versus Netherlands, Norway and Latvia. He began all three competitive contests, scoring two versus the Norwegians.

"Tufan is under contract until 2023 and Fenerbahce would demand at least a £13million transfer feeThe fact he can operate on either wing as well as in his primary role as a defensive midfielder makes him an attractive option– Steve Goodman"

Leicester, Crystal Palace and Everton are also linked with eyeing the Bursa-born man; with other reports stating only €20 million will prise him away from Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Palace have supposedly already had bids turned down.
