Aston Villa, West Ham and Southampton are all interested in signing the player ahead of the new season.
Now, Leicester are pushing hard to land a player who is eager to prove himself in the Premier League.
O’Hare has registered 10 goals and four assists in all competitions this season, helping Coventry reach the FA Cup semi-finals.

He has also scored six Championship goals, where Coventry are currently aiming to achieve a top-10 finish, with the club sitting in ninth place with one match left to play.
It remains to be seen who will win the race for O’Hare, but a Premier League place is likely given the interest from the Foxes, Villa and the Hammers.
Southampton meanwhile could return to the top flight next season having secured a play-off spot, with the Saints currently fourth in the Championship table.
