Leicester City and Bournemouth will go head to head for the signature of Udinese midfielder Jakub Jankto in the January transfer window, according to a report.
The 20-year-old spent the 2015-16 campaign on loan at Serie B side Ascoli, but is now back with Udinese and has been tipped to make his debut for the Italian club in the coming weeks.
The Under-21 Czech Republic international will be out of contract at the end of the season, however, and according to The Guardian, Leicester and Bournemouth have been informed that offers in the region of £8m would be considered at the start of 2017.
It is understood that Arsenal scouted the midfielder throughout last season as he scored five times in 34 league appearances in the second tier of Italian football.
