Leicester City are set to sign another Belgian talent this summer, as Dennis Praet is seemingly on his way to the King Power Stadium. 

Het Laatste Nieuws is reporting that a deal is nearly done for Praet to join up with Youri Tielemans in the Premier League.

The report suggests the Foxes are set to pay Italian side Sampdoria a fee in the region of €26 million (£24 million) for his services. They claim that Praet has nearly agreed on personal terms regarding a deal and a five-year contract is on the table.

It will see Praet reunite with Tielemans, a player he formed a lethal midfield partnership with during his time at the Constant Vanden Stock.

If this deal does go through as expected it would represent a major turnaround from the playmaker.

It was reported last month that Praet was not interested in joining the Foxes. Calcio Mercato suggested that the midfielder did not want to join Leicester as he had his heart set on playing Champions League football next season. 

However, it would appear such offers were not forthcoming and a move to Leicester is now set to happen.

Praet played 34 times in Serie A last season, scoring two goals and providing three assists.
