manager Claude Puel has embarked on a mission to improve the Foxes’ defence, and one of the players he’s looking to add to his squad is Porto’s Ricardo Pereira, .
Pereira has reportedly been offered a new, improved deal to remain at his current club, but it is believed he has his heart set on a move to England. Apart from Leicester, the right-back is being watched by Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Juventus.
In Leicester’s Premier League game against Southampton, Marc Albrighton, who usually plays as a midfielder or a winger, was preferred to right-back Danny Simpson for the spot on the right flank of defence. Simpson was left on the bench.
Pereira would cost the 2015/16 Premier League winners around £22 million, the report claims. The 24-year-old has already worked with the Leicester manager while playing for Nice on loan. Puel managed the French team for four years, from 2012 to 2016.
