It is an open secret that Leicester need to sign a winger. The reports in Italy suggested that Leicester City are eyeing a 9 million euros transfer for Atalanta winger Jeremie Boga. The 25-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.
Since moving to Atalanta from Sassuolo in what was a 22 million euros deal back in July 2022, Jeremie Boga has gone on to feature only 6 times for the club.
The 25-year-old is considered to be one of the best wingers in Ivory Coast. Boga has scored one goal in 10 games for his country.
Brendan Rodgers wants to sign a new winger and Jeremie Boga is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. Rodgers has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented players across the globe.
The Ivory Coast international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of winger Rodgers wants to target in the winter transfer window.
The Foxes will have funds to spend in the market and it will be interesting to see how they approach the winter transfer window.
The former Sassuolo man will add a new dimension to Leicester’s attack. His arrival would give Leicester some much needed tactical flexibility.

According to the report, “Leicester City are ready to try again for Atalanta winger Jeremie Boga. Tuttosport says the Foxes failed with a bid for Boga in August.
