Ajax's Polish centre-forward Arkadiusz Milik is reportedly a £15m transfer target of champions Leicester City.

Leicester City have reportedly opened up negotiations with Ajax regarding the transfer of Arkadiusz Milik.

Manager Claudio Ranieri has made no secret of his desire to bolster the attacking ranks at the King Power Stadium as the Premier League winners prepare for a first ever Champions League campaign in 2016-17.

According to The Mirror, one of the players near to the top of Ranieri's shortlist is Milik.

The report adds that following early discussions, the Foxes are keen to tie up a deal in the region of £15m.

The 22-year-old scored 24 goals for Ajax last season and added a further six during Euro 2016 qualifying for Poland.
