Leicester City are being given a helping hand in their pursuit of a target they are pushing to sign, with a Foxes new boy ‘playing matchmaker’ in an effort to help the deal happen.
New Foxes boss Steve Cooper is determined to strengthen his squad ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.
Caleb Okoli arrived to reinforce the defense, coming from Atalanta, Italy.
Okoli played alongside Juventus winger Matias Soule on loan at Frosinone last season and Leicester are trying to sign the Argentine.
According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Okoli is “playing cupid” in an attempt to convince Soule to move to the King Power Stadium.
Okoli is telling Soule all about Leicester’s ambitious plans and hopes to convince him to move.
Leicester are prepared to make a bid of €25m plus €5m in bonus payments for the winger.
The final decision, however, will be up to Juventus boss Thiago Motta and whether he wants to keep Soule.
If that happens, Juventus will have an easier time rejecting Leicester’s interest.
