When we last left the Domagoj Vida to the Premier League story line, West Ham and Everton where the two main protagonists, as the Croatian centre-back could be one of the players sold by Besiktas in a planned January clear out.
The news came from Turkey, with the report stating the Turkish side would be looking for around €10m, and Fulham were also briefly mentioned.
However, that appears to have now escalated, as Le10 Sport in France believe the Cottagers and Claudio Ranieri have made the 29-year-old their ‘priority’ for the current transfer window.
Already wanting Vida during his time at Leicester, the Italian manager is now determined to get his man at Craven Cottage in a bid to bolster his defence for the second half of the season.
Le10 even go as far as saying an offer could be sent to Besiktas ‘very soon’.
We won’t hold our breath, but at €10m, you can do a lot worse than signing a World Cup finalist.
