Leicester transfer news: Foxes face losing out on top target Wissam Ben Yedder to Sevilla

Toulouse striker Wissam Ben Yedder is set to snub interest from Premier League champions Leicester to join Sevilla.

According to reports in France, the 25-year-old is a target for Claudio Ranieri, who is likely to sign a striker should Jamie Vardy join Arsenal.

However, it seems that the Italian manager will not be completing a deal for Ben Yedder, who reportedly looks ready to choose a move to Spain.

The striker, who notched 17 times in 35 Ligue 1 appearances last season, has also been linked with West Ham and Tottenham but it appears that Sevilla have won the race to sign him.

The La Liga club have tracked him for the past year and are thought to be closing in on a £12m move to land him this summer.
