Leicester, Ipswich, Hamburg & Paris want to sign Man City defender

According to transfer specialist, journalist and Leicester City fan Ben Jacobs, the Foxes are interested in another new signing. The East Midlands side are joined by Ipswich Town, Hamburg SV and Paris FC in admiration of the player in question. It is a Manchester City defender who they all want to sign. The reporter had further information for supporters too.

Jacobs 'understands' that the Citizens would 'prefer to' permanently offload the 24-year-old. But Pep Guardiola is also apparently open to a loan for the man who's been loaned out six times already by MCFC. Let's get the low-down, look at available details on the versatile footballer and offer a verdict on a potential deal.

Transfer movements affecting any possible agreements

First of all, the Foxes haven't made any outfield signings this summer. Which is rather disappointing for the Blue Army fan base. James Justin was also signed by Leeds United in a great deal for the King Power club.

Meanwhile Profit and Sustainability Rules have been tended to or alleviated in entirety. Therefore a space has opened up and Leicester clearly have funds to acquire some fresh blood.

Leicester City, Ipswich Town, Hamburg SV and Paris FC would all reportedly like to sign Manchester City defender Issa Kabore

Whether or not Kabore is a realistic and definite target remains to be seen. Although, from what I have seen of Jacobs' claims, he doesn't spam rumours so to speak. He's pretty much believable.

Next up on the list: profile. Does Kabore suit requirements on Filbert Way? Like I say, the Burkina Faso man is versatile like Justin: playing on the left or right of defence.

In addition to that suitability, the Bobo Dioulasso-born baller can be deployed on either side of midfield. It is also claimed that City can now pay for transfers, in spite of a temporary option on the table.
