Leicester City are bracing themselves to lose head of recruitment Steve Walsh to Everton, according to a report tonight.

The Telegraph’s chief football writer Sam Wallace has written that the champions are “resigned to losing their influential head of recruitment, and assistant manager”.

Everton have targeted Walsh as the man they want to fill the club’s new role of director of football.

And the Telegraph this evening are reporting that Walsh could be edging closer to Goodison.

Walsh is given huge credit for helping to put together Leicester’s Premier League title winning side of last season, bringing players such as Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante to the King Power Stadium.

Elsewhere, reports in Italy say that German giants Bayern Munich have entered the race to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

It has been claimed that the Blues, who have been rivalling Chelsea for the 25-year-old’s signature, now face a battle with Munich who are ready to offer 45m euros.
