LEICESTER CITY have turned their attention to Torino winger Iago Falque to replace Riyad Mahrez, according to reports.


The Foxes sold Mahrez to Manchester City this week and will be desperate to add a quality wide man with the season kicking off next month.

Leicester boss Claude Puel has been linked with City youngster Patrick Roberts and Lyon’s Bertrand Traore as they look to maintain the supply line to Jamie Vardy next term.


Tuttosport in Italy say Falque is on the East Midlands side’s radar, but they could face competition from Premier League rivals WestHam and Southampton for the 28-year-old.


Falque started his career at Juventus but moved to Tottenham in 2011, but failed to make an impact in North London.


And after loan spells at the Saints, Almeria and Rayo Vallecano, he moved to Italy for a year each at Genoa and Roma.

But the Spaniard has now found a home in Turin and is producing the best football of his career.


Falque has bagged 26 goals in two seasons and his form has also alerted La Liga pair Valencia and Sevilla.


However, Torino are eager to keep hold of one of their prized assets and would only part with the Spaniard if they received a huge offer.


Meanwhile, the Foxes are set to open talks with England hero Harry Maguire when he returns from Russia.


The 25-year-old moved to the King Power Stadium a year ago for £17million, but his reputation has soared after a string of impressive performances for the Three Lions at the World Cup.
