Leicester City have entered negotiations with Lokomotiv Moscow centre-back Solomon Kvirkvelia, the Georgian international has confirmed.

Kvirkvelia has been on City’s radar for 12 months but a deal looks to be progressing this summer and the 26-year-old says a decision will be made within the next few days.

City have already sealed deals for right-back Ricardo Pereira (£22m) and centre-back Jonny Evans (£3.5m) but another centre-half is wanted.

Kvirkvelia was the rock at the heart of the Lokomotiv defence last season as they won their first Russian title in 14 years.

And although Champions League football is now on the table, Kvirkvelia seems to have his eyes on the Premier League.

“There is a conversation with Leicester,” the 26-year-old told Georgian station 1TV .

“My agent is conducting negotiations with the English club and in these next few days it will be clear to Lokomotiv if I go to Leicester.

“The English club’s interest is there and playing in the Premier League is my dream.

“This transfer will be solved in the nearest future.”

If a deal goes through for Kvirkvelia, City would likely end their interest in last season's loanee Aleksandar Dragovic.

The Austrian held talks with Everton this week.
