Leicester City have made an informal approach for RB Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin, according to reports.

City boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring in a forward this summer as back-up to Jamie Vardy and the Daily Telegraph report that they have joined Everton in making an enquiry about Augustin.

A French Under-21 international, Augustin is expected to leave Leipzig for around £17.5m this summer after falling out of favour at the German club.

He has started just three Bundesliga matches this term and has not played in any competition since March 9.

Still, the 21-year-old has scored eight goals in 29 appearances this campaign, including one against Rodgers’ Celtic in the Europa League group stage in November.

Augustin joined Leipzig from PSG in 2017 and has scored 20 goals in 66 appearances in total for the club.

He is also capable of playing on the wing and it is understood that Rodgers wants his new striker to be able to play out wide.
