Leicester are reportedly close to completing a deal to sign defender Ozan Kabak from Schalke.
The centre-back showed promise in his 13 loan appearances for Liverpool last season - after he was drafted in to help ease their mounting injury woes at the back - but the Reds decided against taking up the option to buy.
Cash-strapped Schalke need to raise funds following a thoroughly miserable 2020/21 campaign which saw them finish bottom of the Bundesliga with just 16 points, and Kabak - although thought to be valued at only £8 million - would appear to be their most valuable player.
According to Sky Sport in Germany (via the Mirror), Leicester have had a bid for the 21-year-old Turkey international accepted.
Kabak could join compatriot Caglar Soyuncu at the King Power Stadium, although he would face stiff competition from Soyuncu, Wesley Fofana and Jonny Evans for a place in Brendan Rodgers' defence - whether that be a back three or four.
Still, the Foxes could do with replacing Premier League-winning captain Wes Morgan, who retired at the end of last season.
Leicester have deservedly acquired a reputation for finding great value in the transfer market (*ahem* Jamie Vardy *ahem), and it would be no surprise to see Kabak develop into a top player under the astute stewardship of Brendan Rodgers.
