Leicester City are reportedly looking to recommence talks with AC Milan over 21-year-old forward M'Baye Niang.

AC Milan forward M'Baye Niang has drawn interest from Leicester City once again, according to reports.

The 21-year-old managed to score five goals and register an assist from 16 Serie A appearances last season, despite having had his campaign curtailed by injury.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri is said to have prioritised Niang during the summer transfer window, as he is keen to pair him up with Jamie Vardy.

In addition, Niang has reportedly fallen out of favour at San Siro, following the emergence of a video online appearing to show him jumping into a pool from the roof of his house.

A number of other Premier League teams, including Everton and West Ham United, are also said to be interested in the Frenchman.
