Championship strugglers Leicester City are in talks to sign Divine Mukasa from Manchester City on loan for the remainder of the season.
Midfielder Mukasa has broken into the City first team this season, making six appearances.
The 18-year-old may also sign a new contract at Etihad Stadium before a possible move into the second tier.
Leicester interim boss Andy King confirmed interest in the player on Saturday after the 2-0 loss to Charlton: “He [Mukasa] is a very promising young player.
“It’s something the club have been trying to pursue. If we can get him, that’s great news.
“We’ve seen a lot of him and we rate him very highly.”
