Leicester City monitoring Hull City's Keane Lewis-Potter?

Leicester City have reportedly declared their interest in Hull City prospect Keane Lewis-Potter ahead of the January transfer window.

Brendan Rodgers's side should face plenty of competition though, with Southampton and Brentford also said to be interested in securing the winger's signature, and Hull owner Assem Allam has confirmed that the Tigers have already rejected an £8m offer for the Englishman.

According to Leicestershire Live, the Foxes have now set their sights on the 20-year-old heading into the winter transfer window.

The report suggests that the Yorkshire outfit have set a £12m asking price on their winger, who has hit two goals and provided two assists in 11 Championship appearances this campaign.

Lewis-Potter cemented himself in the Tigers' first-team squad last season, registering 13 goals and six assists to help Grant McCann's men win promotion back to the second tier.
