Leicester City are one of the clubs in the picture to sign Standard Liège’s Hakim Sahabo in the summer window, according to a report from Belgium.
The 19-year-old joined the Belgian club last summer, and after initially being part of their youth team, he was given opportunities in the first team. He finished his debut season with 18 appearances for the Jupiler Pro League side.
According to L’Avenir, the midfielder has attracted interest from Eintracht Frankfurt, TSG Hoffenheim and ‘especially Leicester’.
Standard Liège would like to retain the Rwanda international. If there’s an interesting offer, the report claims the Belgian club are likely to find it difficult to retain the player, who has a deal that lasts until 2026, with an option for another year.
In that case, L’Avenir claim Standard Liège would hope to earn €5m plus bonuses for the midfielder.
Leicester have already made contact and have been told the fee Standard Liège are aiming for to sell Sahabo this summer.
