It could be a busy summer of coming and goings at Leicester City, irrespective of what happens with manager Claude Puel, who remains under pressure after a string of poor results.

The latest name linked with a move to the King Power Stadium is Niclas Fullkrug, a 25-year-old striker currently plying his trade at German top flight outfit Hannover.

According to a report in newspaper Bild, the Foxes face competition from fellow Premier League sides Newcastle and Watford for his signature.

Fullkrug is under contract until 2020 and doesn’t have a buyout clause in his contract, meaning Hannover hold all the aces when it comes to negotiating his potential sale.

The former Werder Bremen man has netted 15 times this season, with 13 of them coming in the Bundesliga helping his side to a 13th place finish.

Bild say a deal in the region of 10m euros (£8.7m) could be enough to bring him to England and the Premier League, though Championship club Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the former German Under-20 international.

One thing that could potentially swing the deal in Watford’s favour, is that Fullkrug shares the same agent as the Hornet's Sebastian Prodl.
