Report: Leicester in advanced talks to sign Leverkusen striker

Bayer Leverkusen striker Adam Hlozek is said to be close to a move to Leicester City.

 

Adam Hlozek is reportedly set to leave Bayer Leverkusen for Leicester City.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the newly-promoted Premier League side are in advanced talks to sign the Czech international.

Negotiations between the clubs are said to be in the final stages for a loan deal with an obligation to buy.

Sky Germany is also reporting that a deal is close between the parties, with the German media outlet claiming that the purchase obligation is set at €17-18 million.

Hlozek has struggled to hold down a starting berth at Leverkusen since joining from Sparta Prague in the summer of 2022.

The signing of Martin Terrier from Stade Rennes has made the competition for places even tougher, and he's been heavily linked with a move away.

Hlozek made 36 appearances for Leverkusen last season, 11 of which were starts, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.
