We just seem to be linked to everyone these days; here's another:

Leicester City have joined Chelsea and Inter Milan in wanting to sign Lille forward Jonathan Ikone, according to Le10Sport.

The French international is one several players alongside Victor Osimhen, Gabriel Magalhaes, Mike Maignan and Boubakary Soumare to potentially leave the club this summer.

Ikone's stock has been on the rise for the past few seasons and while Chelsea and Inter Milan are said to be interested, Leicester look the most likely to weigh in with a firm offer, with Brendan Rodgers keen to add another dimension to his attack.

The decision is now up to the player, with Lille seemingly happy to let him leave for the right price. Ikone has one year left on his contract, which means the French side would rather cash in while they can this year rather than lose him for nothing next summer.

Can't say I've ever heard of him TBH.

Chelsea continue shopping spree with Sarr signing on free transfer
Chelsea have completed the signing of Malang Sarr on a free transfer, the club announced on Thursday. Sarr, 21, left French club Nice this summer and has signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge. The Premier League also announced that the defender will spend the 2020-21 campaign out on loan.

"The opportunity to sign Malang was one we could not miss," Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia told the club's website. "He is a tremendous prospect and we will be monitoring him closely during his loan period, hoping he will soon be back at Chelsea. We are very happy to welcome him to the club today."

Sarr made 116 appearances for Nice and represented France at last year's under-21 European championship.
