# Leicester City make offer for talented midfielder as Ranieri begins title defence

**Leicester fans here in the Transfer Tavern are excited about the new season, with the Foxes fans hoping for another memorable season!**

Our punters have managed to get hold of some transfer news from our landlord which regards Leicester City.

According to[Sky Sports,](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/10512846/leicester-bid-163525m-for-poland-winger-bartosz-kapustka-sky-sources) Claudio Ranieri has made a £5.25 million offer for Poland’s Euro 2016 wonderkid, Bartosz Kaputska in order to get him in as a replacement for the departing N’Golo Kante.

The 19-year-old who was described as ‘deliciously talented’ by Gary Lineker after his performance against Northern Ireland, can play on either wing or behind the striker, making him a very useful player as Leicester head into their first season in the Champions league.

Leicester face competition for the players signature however, [with Everton, Southampton, Cologne and Ajax all keen on acquiring the player’s services.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/10512846/leicester-bid-163525m-for-poland-winger-bartosz-kapustka-sky-sources)

Taking that into consideration, Leicester are pushing to get a deal finalised with Polish club Cracovia before the week is out.

Kaputska is attracting interest from a host of European clubs so Leicester may want to get in their whilst they can.

**So what do you think Leicester fans? How does this Polish wonderkid sound? Let us know down below…**
