EPL newboys want Super Eagles skipper

Leicester City, are eyeing a summer move for Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo, after their billionaire owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha revealed £180m will be available for new signings.

 
Yobo, who last season played at relegated side Norwich on loan from Turkish team Fenerbache, will be entering the last year of his three-year deal with the Turkish giants and they will be willing to let him leave for a fee in the region of £1m.
 
Manger of Leceister City, Nigel Pearson, is a known admirer of the qualities of the Super Eagles captain and has twice failed with bids for Yobo.
 
However, Leicester Evening news are speculating that Pearson might be lucky at his third attempt due to the premiership football now on offer and their ambition of finishing in the top five will also be a pull.
 
Leicester sealed a place in the lucrative top flight of English football by winning the Championship title last month, ending a decade-long absence from the Premier League.
