Leicester City have not submitted a bid to Marseille for winger Florian Thauvin.

Rumours circulating on social media on Monday evening suggested City had made a £28 million approach for the former Newcastle wide-man, but regional newspaper La Provence, who cover Marseille, have reported that no offer has been received by the Ligue 1 club.

Despite the signing of £30m Ayoze Perez, City could still move for a winger this summer with manager Brendan Rodgers keen to improve his side’s attacking output from wide areas.

City have Perez, Harvey Barnes, Demarai Gray, Marc Albrighton, Rachid Ghezzal and Fousseni Diabate as wide options, but Rodgers has been open in his desire to bring in a player in the mould of Riyad Mahrez.

Like Mahrez, Thauvin plays on the right, cutting onto his preferred left foot, and has been in superb form since rejoining Marseille.

In the past three seasons, the French World Cup winner has scored 59 goals and provided 37 assists.
