Leicester City have been linked with a move for Olympique Lyon striker Bertrand Traore.

French publication Foot Mercato , via Sport Witness , claim City are interested in the former Chelsea man along with Premier League rivals AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United.

The report adds that the Hammers have already spoken to Traore's agent while City would like to loan him in with a view to buying him in the summer.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, have recently been linked with a €35 million move for the 24-year-old.

City , if they are indeed keen on Traore, would be a good bet for the ex-Ajax man given the Hammers and Cherries are mired in relegation trouble.

But whether King Power Stadium boss Brendan Rodgers wants another striker would be the sticking point, given he has options up front already in Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy.

Traore started his career with Auxerre before finishing his development at Chelsea.

He left Stamford Bridge in 2017 for current side Lyon.

The Burkina Faso international spent time on loan at Vitesse and Ajax during his Chelsea stint.
