Leicester are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Porto defender Alex Telles.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a productive 2018/19 campaign, scoring four goals and assisting eight in 33 Liga NOS appearances.

According to Record, Foxes scouts have watched Telles on ‘several occasions’ this season and view him as a potential replacement for Ben Chilwell.

Chilwell has been linked with a move to Manchester City and would leave a sizeable hole in Brendan Rodgers’ starting eleven.

However, Telles is just as attacking and could be available for €25m, with Leicester already sharing a positive relationship with Porto after signing Ricardo Pereira.

Manchester United are also said to be interested in the Brazilian.
