Metz ace Boubakar Kouyate is wanted by Leicester City.

The Sun says he could earn a Prem switch after his top Africa Cup of Nations performances — with Leicester watching him.

The powerful Metz star, 24, is a stand-out for Mali and could be available on a loan-to-buy basis, but ideally a £16million sale.

Kouyate's stats make him the best defender in French football which has caught the eye of Foxes chief Brendan Rodgers and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard.

Rodgers would prefer a loan just now but French club Lyon are also keen, so City must move quickly as Metz prepare for his exit.
