Former Leicester City trialist Ali Reghba will sign for the club in the summer after a brief stint back in Ireland, reports say.

The 19-year-old forward impressed in a short spell for City’s Under-23s last month but a transfer from Irish side Bohemians failed to materialise.

Now, Reghba has signed a new short-term contract with the top-flight club but with a summer move to City factored into the deal, Irish media report.

Reghba, a Republic of Ireland Under-19 international, played two Premier League 2 matches for Steve Beaglehole’s development squad in January, a 1-0 win over Everton and a dominant 3-0 success at Swansea, in which he scored twice and won a penalty.

Despite this man-of-the-match display, a transfer was not secured and Reghba returned to Dublin to train with Bohemians.

The teenager has now signed a contract with the club, amid interest from a host of other sides, and will represent them in the 2019 League of Ireland season, which began last weekend, before teaming up with City’s Under-23s for the 2019-20 campaign.
