A report claims that Leicester City are closing on a deal for Cracovia winger Bartosz Kapustka, who represented Poland at Euro 2016.

Leicester City are reportedly closing on a deal for Cracovia winger Bartosz Kapustka.

The 19-year-old, who impressed for his country at Euro 2016, currently represents Polish outfit Cracovia, having come through the youth system at the Krakow club.

It is understood that Leicester failed with a £6.25m bid last week, but having raised their offer to £7.5m, talks are now at an advanced stage, according to the Leicester Mercury.

Everton and Southampton have previously been credited with an interest in the teenager, although the Premier League champions appear to have won the race.
