Leicester City are sending a scout to watch Chilean striker Dario Osorio, with manager Enzo Maresca keen for more signings this summer.
That’s according to El Futbolero, who say Leicester ‘insist’ on signing the player and believe they can get him on the cheap to boot.
They explain that Maresca is keen to keep adding talent to his forward line in the coming weeks after losing both Harvey Barnes and James Maddison. There is also a belief that several other players could depart before the end of the window.
Osorio is one of the players who ‘still appears on the radar’ after being linked earlier this year when it was reported that his club, Club Universidad de Chile, were expecting a formal offer.
Whether that’s enough to convince the Chilean side into a sale isn’t mentioned but Leicester are certainly keen, with it even explained they’ve sent an ‘emissary’ out to watch Osorio in the clash with O’Higgins.
Osorio started that game today and even bagged Universidad de Chile’s first goal of the game in the 5-2 defeat, so perhaps the Foxes will be convinced to push ahead with their interest.
Either way, they had a scout in attendance and seem keen on a deal for the player as they rebuild their squad under Maresca.
