Leicester City have been linked with a move for Danish youngster Wahid Faghir.

The 16-year-old, who has represented Denmark at youth level, has been tipped for a move across Europe, with the Foxes said to be one of those interested.

Danish newspaper BT claims City, along with Ajax, a number of Premier League clubs as well as Spanish La Liga sides, are keen on his signature. But it is Leicester and the Dutch giants said to be at the front of the queue.

The striker scored 16 goals for Vejle Boldklub’s under-17s last season and has five in nine games for the under-19s this term.

The report from BT adds Faghir is a physically strong, highly technical and gifted attacker – who they have compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Vejle reportedly extended Faghir’s contract in the summer for three years, which will run until the summer of 2022. He would likely go straight into City's academy set up if any deal was forthcoming.
