Player ‘destined’ for England move – Leicester City the ‘most serious team’

Greek newspaper FOS claim Olympiacos left-back Kostas Tsimikas is ‘destined’ for a move to England, despite reported interest from Napoli and Inter Milan.

It’s reported the two Italian sides aren’t willing to pay more than €13m for the Greek defender, with Napoli said to be dropping their interest because of Olympiacos’ asking price.

According to FOS, Inter Milan have other options in mind such as Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso and Emerson, and this will make Leicester City ‘the most serious team’ who want to land Tsimikas this summer.

FOS say along with Leicester City, Liverpool are also interested in signing the 23 year old but they only see him as a backup to Andy Robertson. Subsequently the Merseyside club are looking at alternatives to the Greek international.

The Greek newspaper report Leicester City’s interest is ‘legitimate’ and the Foxes right now are the only club who are seriously interested in signing Tsimikas.

The 23 year old has made 37 appearances for Pedro Martins’ side this season and made 7 assists. His contract with Erythrolefki will expire at the end of June 2022.
