Leicester plot transfer of Southampton star Victor Wanyama

Claudio Ranieri is monitoring Southampton’s Victor Wanyama as a possible replacement for N’Golo Kante.

Leicester boss Ranieri is set to lose his PFA Player of the Year nominee this summer, with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, ­Manchester City and Arsenal all huge admirers.

Meanwhile, fellow midfielder Wanyama has just a year left on his Southampton contract and has so far refused to sign a new five-year deal, with Tottenham interested in signing him.

Like Spurs, Ranieri is able to offer the 24-year-old Champions League football next season as his league-leading Foxes have already secured qualification for the group stage.

It means the prospects of Southampton, currently eighth and hoping for a Europa League spot, holding onto the combative former Celtic star in the face of transfer interest again like they did last summer look bleak.
