With Xavi Simons looking increasingly likely to leave RB Leipzig, the Bundesliga outfit have found a possible replacement in England.
That's according to Fussballtransfers, who reports that Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss is on their shortlist.
The 21-year-old Moroccan international could be on the move following Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League, but Leipzig face competition from Crystal Palace, who are also reportedly interested.
El Khannouss joined the Foxes from KRC Genk last summer for a reported €22.5 million.
He registered two goals and three assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season.
