Leicester City have been linked with a move for Genk striker Mbwana Samatta.

The Sun claim Aston Villa, Watford and Burnley are also interested in the Tanzania international.

Samatta, 26, is said to be worth around £12million and wants a move to England.

He hit 32 goals in all competitions for Belgian title winners Genk, including a hat-trick in Europa League qualifying against Brondby in August.

Samatta, who has also been linked with a move to AS Roma and Olympique Lyon, is currently preparing for this month's African Cup of Nations where he will be hoping to lead his country to glory.

Brendan Rodgers' City are looking to strengthen their attacking options this summer, with Shinji Okazaki departing the King Power Stadium when his contract expires this summer.

The Foxes want a versatile wide man who is also capable of deputising for Jamie Vardy or Kelechi Iheanacho on occasion.

Samatta operates primarily as a centre-forward.
