Leicester City are eyeing a move for AC Milan winger Hakan Calhanoglu, according to reports in both Italy and Turkey.

The Foxes have also been linked with Calhanoglu’s compatriot, 21-year-old defender Merih Demiral, who plies his trade with Milan’s Serie A rivals Juventus with suggestions the Premier League title chasers are keen to get the pair for €50m.

Turkish international Calhanoglu joined the Rossoneri in a deal worth €24m in 2017 from Bayer Leverkusen immediately being handed the famous number 10 jersey at the San Siro Stadium, though it now appears his future could be away from the Italian giants.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira claims Milan would be open to doing business with the Foxes, with director of football Jon Rudkin said to have started talks, but the 25-year-old prefers a move back to Germany ahead of one to the Premier League, he says.

Speaking previously, boss Rodgers was coy about possible targets in January, suggesting the Foxes, given their Premier League position will ensure they’re an attractive proposition.

"I speak with the recruitment team a lot," he said.

"It's an attractive proposition to come to here.

"If the right player is available, I'm sure the club will do everything they can.

“There will be plenty of players who want to come here."
