Leicester want £15m deal for Copa America star Ramon Sosa as Steve Cooper looks to secure first transfer

LEICESTER have held talks to sign Paraguayan right winger Ramon Sosa from Argentina’s Talleres.

The Foxes have been tracking the powerful 24-year-old for weeks and recently met with his agents to discuss a deal for around £15m.

Sosa played off the bench at the Copa America and is being pushed by all sides to move to the Prem.

Talleres had top English interest and will sell at the right price.

He picked up an assist during his recent Copa America cameo against Colombia, though his side fell to a 2-1 defeat.

The exciting star then played 12 minutes as his side lost 4-1 to Brazil.

He has made 21 appearances at club level so far this season.

The highly rated ace scored seven goals as well, sitting on six assists.

Leicester could lose midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall imminently.

The 25-year-old had been set to join Brighton, only for Chelsea to hijack the deal.

Leicester value Dewsbury-Hall at around £35m and are under pressure to sell to meet profitability and sustainability (PSR) rules and avoid further breaches.

Dewsbury-Hall booked his medical at Brighton this week – after the Seagulls offered £25million plus Poland international Jakub Moder.

The deal was advanced enough for Moder to head to the Foxes’ training ground in Seagrave for his own medical.

But Dewsbury-Hall has made a stunning U-turn in his choice to join Brighton in a bid to listen to Chelsea’s offer.
