Sangare, 24, impressed in both legs against Brendan Rodgers’ side in the Europa Conference League quarter-final.

Now discussions have taken place to register interest in the ex-Toulouse player, who has also alerted top clubs in Europe.

The Foxes are keen, especially as they plan a revamp.

Youri Tielemans is likely to leave this summer and Boubakary Soumare is yet to deliver.

So Rodgers could shake up that whole midfield engine room with a fresh surge of energy.

Sangare’s price is unlikely to drop but the Foxes will make a splash and should be able to sort out personal terms.

The added extra is that Sangare would help the side with set-pieces, both defending and attacking — an area that has been a problem all season.

Leicester face Roma in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League after their win over Sangare's PSV.

Rodgers' men could be one of NINE Premier League teams in Europe next year.

But it would need an incredible scenario to happen in which both them and West Ham win European competitions next month.
