Sports
LEICESTER City are in talks to sign Belgium defender Wout Faes from French club Reims as they look to replace Chelsea-bound Wesley Fofana.
Fofana is expected to join the Blues before the summer transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on 1 September.
Faes, 24, is rated at around £15m and has been with Reims since 2020, having come through the ranks at Anderlecht.
He made his Belgium debut as a substitute in a Nations League game against Poland in June.
Faes has made three appearances for Reims this season and played 37 league games for them last season – scoring four goals – as they finished 12th in Ligue 1.
