Leicester City have been joined by Everton and Bournemouth in the race to sign attacking midfielder Yusuf Yazıcı, according to Jeunes Footeux.
The player is being chased by several clubs this summer because he is a free agent and his track record last season was impressive for Lille.
Surprisingly, he left Lille this summer and became a free agent but since June, his future has not been decided and clubs are waiting for him to make a decision.
As per the report, Leicester City have opened talks with his representatives as they look to complete the signing of the midfielder.
The newly promoted side have shown serious interest in the services of the player, who can add goals and attacking strength to the team.
Following the loss off attacking midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea this summer, Leicester have been looking for a midfielder who can produce output in the attacking third.
It still remains to be seen what the player prefers but at the moment, Leicester are leading the race to sign him.
Everton and Bournemouth will have to act fast if they have genuine interest in the services of the player.
He scored 12 goals and provided four assists last season for Lille in an impressive individual season.
