Leicester City have made an approach for Spain’s newest star Brais Mendez, according to reports.

The Celta Vigo attacking midfielder came off the bench to score the winner on his Spain debut on Sunday, a 1-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina, while his performances in La Liga have caught City’s interest.

Spanish radio station Cadena Cope report that City have approached Celta Vigo over Mendez’s availability and were referred to his €25million (£22m) release clause.

At home in the no.10 role or on the flanks, the left-footed Mendez only made his senior Celta Vigo debut last season but has shot to fame this term, scoring three goals and making two assists, all in his last three games.

The 21-year-old is under contract at Celta Vigo until 2021.
