Premier League side Leicester City have reportedly agreed a fee with Atalanta for defender Yohan Benalouane.

New Leicester coach Claudio Ranieri, who used to coach Inter, Roma and Juventus, seems to be looking to Serie A for players to strengthen his new team.

According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Leicester have agreed a €7 million fee with La Dea for the Tunisian centre-back.

The English side are now trying to reach an agreement with the player over his wages.

The 28-year-old started his European career at Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne before moving to Italy with Cesena in 2010.

Since then Benalouane has played for Parma before moving permanently to Atalanta in 2014 after a loan spell with the club.

Benalouane made 27 Serie A appearances for Atalanta last season helping them survive relegation, finishing in 17th place.
