Everton face fresh opposition in their pursuit of Axel Witsel from Leicester City.
Witsel remains firmly on the Blues’ radar despite interest from both Napoli and Chelsea despite the Italian club’s talks with the player breaking down.
But France Football claim that Premier League champions Leicester have now joined the race to land the Zenit St Petersburg midfielder.
The Foxes are reportedly targeting the Belgium international as they prepare for N’Golo Kante’s likely departure to Chelsea.
Witsel is understood to favour a move to England rather than joining Napoli, despite their Champions League status.
