Leicester City are reportedly willing to pay €48m (£40.7m) for Tottenham-linked Stefan de Vrij and Marcelo Brozovic.

What’s the story?

Internazionale are in a financial mess this summer and are being forced to sell a raft of first-team stars.

Achraf Hakimi has already left for Paris Saint Germain and Romelu Lukaku is set to follow.

Spurs are reportedly in for de Vrij and Brozovic, with reports claiming the club are willing to pay £40m for the duo.

However, the Foxes have joined the race for the two Inter Milan players. According to Inter Live, the Midlanders are also willing to pay around £40m for the pair.

The Dutchman would act as a replacement for Wesley Fofana, who suffered a horror tackle last week. It emerged yesterday the Frenchman will be out until 2022 with a leg injury.

Leicester interest in de Vrij and Brozovic leaves Tottenham looking over their shoulder

Interest from Leicester in de Vrij and Brozovic leaves Tottenham in danger of missing out on the duo.

The Foxes have been the better club over the last couple of seasons. Back-to-back fifth-place finishes and a FA Cup triumph makes the King Power Stadium an attractive destination these days.

And for added measure, the Midlanders even beat Manchester City to win the Community Shield last weekend.

Meanwhile, Spurs have endured a tough last 24 months or so.

The sacking of Jose Mourinho and Mauricio Pochettino, loss in the Carabao Cup final and lack of competitive European football really do beg a question over how competitive the Lilywhites are.

If you are de Vrij and Brozovic, a move to Leicester would be better for your career right now.
