Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City are in the picture to sign Fiorentina’s Jonathan Ikoné this summer.
That’s according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, who claims Wolves and Leicester have made contact with the winger.
Fiorentina are looking to get rid of a few players before the window closes on Friday. The 26-year-old is the ‘hottest name’ in this list.
The France international was left out of the squad to face Venezia on Sunday. Di Marzio says this is because of ‘market reasons’ as his future lies away from the Serie A side.
He’s attracting interest from the Premier League, where Wolves and Leicester are interested parties.
The journalist adds the attacker ‘is in contact’ with Gary O’Neil’s side and the Foxes, with Wolves ‘slightly ahead’ of Leicester. It’s not made clear whether the two clubs are looking to buy or sign him on a loan deal.
Ikoné’s deal lasts until 2026 and there’s no mention of the Italian club’s request to part ways with him.
He scored six goals and registered eight assists from 51 games in all competitions last season and has an assist from two games so far this season.
