Leicester City have identified Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto as an ideal target should one of their midfield stars depart.

As reported by Spanish media outlet Fichajes.net yesterday, Foxes midfielders Youri Tielemans and James Maddison are both being linked with transfers away from the Premier League side in the upcoming transfer windows, with multiple clubs interested in the duo.

Tielemans is being linked with a move to La Liga, whilst Maddison is supposedly an important target of fellow Premier League side Arsenal.

The 29-year-old Spanish midfielder, who is contracted to the Biancocelesti until 2025, has recently been linked with a move away from Rome, with his position at the start of the summer transfer window seeming incredibly uncertain.

Luis Alberto is a key part of coach Maurizio Sarri’s squad but has so far struggled to adapt to the 62-year-old Italian coach’s tactical system.
