# Leicester eyeing surprise swoop for Premier League forward

![Graziano Pelle](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/4698867-500x338.jpg)The Leicester City fans here in the Transfer Tavern have been frantically scouring the newspapers on a daily basis to discover which striker is the latest to be linked with a switch to the King Power Stadium.

Boss Claudio Ranieri is keen to add more firepower to his squad before the Monday evening deadline and a new name has emerged yet again today.

The news has [been spotted in The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/transfernews/6891092/Graziano-Pelleis-shock-Leicester-target.html) by a Leicester die-hard who is relaxing after a hard week at work with a pint of the landlord’s best and the red-top tabloid has claimed that [Southampton striker Graziano Pelle is wanted by Ranieri.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/transfernews/6891092/Graziano-Pelleis-shock-Leicester-target.html)

The Italian striker has found himself down the pecking order at the Saints and a serious cloud has been cast over his future following the signing of Charlie Austin last week.

One Leicester fan in the Tavern thinks it would be a cracking signing for the Foxes, if they can get him back to his best and scoring goals once again.
