Leicester City have been linked with a move for Bury starlet Callum Hulme.

The Sun claim the Foxes are interested in a £500,000 move for the 18-year-old midfielder, who came through Manchester City's academy.

Hulme never signed a professional contract at Man City, instead completing his scholarship and breaking through at Bury.

The 18-year-old has impressed throughout his time with the Shakers, earning his first league outing for the first team last season.

Though, he has also played in the Checkatrade Trophy, including against City last season.

Hulme was expected to play a bigger part this term, but he could now be set to leave with the Foxes reportedly keen.

City have signed a number of youngsters this summer as they look to bolster their under-23 setup.

Devontae Daley-Campbell, Ali Regghba, George Hirst and Mitch Clark have all arrived on deals this offseason.

Bury are likely to be open to the sale of Hulme with the club currently in financial trouble.

The EFL have warned the League One club they may not be able to play their opening game of the season against MK Dons this week if they don't provide proof of their financial viability.

Bury have already been deducted 12 points by the EFL, and they remain in troubled waters.
