A report claims that Leicester City want to sign West Ham United youngster Reece Burke at the end of the season.

Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing West Ham United defender Reece Burke.

The 19-year-old came through the youth system at West Ham and has already made five Premier League appearances for the Hammers.

According to The Sun, however, the teenager's head has been turned by title-chasing Leicester, who will almost certainly be able to offer the defender Champions League football next season.

Burke, who is an England Under-20 international, is currently on loan at Bradford City, where he has made 26 first-team appearances this season.
