Leicester City are exploring a move for Feyenoord centre back David Hancko.
The 26-year-old Slovakia international has been linked to a swift reunion with Arne Slot, Liverpool’s incoming manager, but the Anfield club are looking at defenders with a younger profile like Lille’s Leny Yoro.
Instead, it is Leicester who are looking into a potential deal for Hancko who cost Feyenoord £4.75million from Sparta Prague in 2022 but has two years left on contract.
Hancko can also fit in at left-back and has 37 caps for his country. He also offers a goal threat from set pieces and open play with 10 goals in the past two seasons.
Leicester are revamping their squad as they contend with alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules.
They are also waiting to see what happens with coach Enzo Maresca who has ended up on Chelsea’s shortlist after earning promotion as Championship champions in his first season. Maresca has a release clause just under £10m which increased following their promotion.
