Leicester City Approach Club To Ask About 13-goal Attacker | OneFootball

Leicester City have approached Dutch giants Ajax to ask about a possible deal to sign attacker Steven Bergwijn, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Foxes boss Steve Cooper feels he needs more cutting edge up top if his side are to flourish in the Premier League next season.

His eyes have been drawn towards the Netherlands for a solution in the shape of Bergwijn.

Leicester have, in recent days, touched base with Ajax to ask about the forward, his availability and how much he is likely to cost.

Bergwijn has Premier League experience, gained through a spell at Tottenham Hotspur, and Leicester would hope he could hit the ground running.

He scored 12 times in 24 Eredivisie games for Ajax last season and 13 overall as they enjoyed a season to forget.

Ajax recovered from a disastrous start to eventually finish fifth, meaning no Champions League football for the club in the new campaign.

Bergwijn could be moved on from the Amsterdam club before the transfer window closes.

The attacker also has interest from other clubs and if a move to Leicester does not happen could still leave Ajax.
